    i dont mind diversity much if it doesnt pull down the average talents of a species, which it (always?) does.

    diversity in cowmilk output (lol) in cows for a farmer isnt something desirable, atleast one area i know something about.

    please write an example, why you thought of the comment? thx :). im sincerely interested

      Surely you’ve noticed that this only applies to a population that is being exploited as a resource and prioritizes a specific trait or traits that are desirable to the exploiter rather than traits that contribute to the organism’s well-being. That’s what eugenics is, and what you are advocating for. It is not better for humanity or even for the individual to eradicate autism, it is better for our exploiters.

      Diversity in ant behavior directly benefits their “front line”. More scouts/backup depending on how timid or aggressive they are.
