Into eugenics?
Aspie?
Planning on eliminating . . . who?
And how?
Hitler-Aspie Master Race?
Can't really eliminate all the NTs, there are far too many.
Or was he into the classic early 20th American-style disability eugenics?
You know, it occured to me that four years ago I would have flipped even at the word "fascist," let alone "eugenics."
I think I've probably spent too much time on internet political sims. . .

Well, let me make it clear that I in no way endorse Eugenics. He didn't know he was aspie for one thing, he wasn't interested in negative eugenics, and his vision of a "master race" was actually multiracial. He thought that the more varied someones bloodline was, the more resistant they would be to varying ailments.

Well he died about a little over a year ago, before I learned about Asperger's. I realize now that it perfectly describes him, and thats why we got along so well.
Yes his plan was to mix them all together, he felt that if a race continues to breed amongst itself only that it only grows weaker and more vulnerable. For example what happened to Native Americans with small pox and Europeans with Bubonic plague. He believed in a concept called "hybrid vigour", that when two beings with very different DNA breed, the result is almost always stronger then either parents.

Sorry to hear that.
Ahh, so if a plague hit, chance should have Latin America faring the best, then the Arab world (beyond the penninsula), Central Asia, etc, okay, and with US, Britain, South Africa, and some others having certain segments survive basically?
I wonder if there's any validity to that. Certainly gene mixing helps in other ways, but the differences are greater among ethnic groups than between them. So not sure how much of a difference it would make in practice.
Not saying it's a bad idea, to mix ethnicities, just that I'm not sure how well his theory holds.
Well, if we ever get that flu like they wanted then we'll get to test it I guess.
