Ohhhhhhh they were being critical of the concept. I was wondering why an official MIT account would spout eugenics talking points lol

Plenty of MIT/Harvard types are into eugenics. Don’t be fooled by the level of education someone has, doesn’t mean anything about their morals or ethics

Oh im well aware of how popular eugenics is among academics. I was just suprised theyd post that on twitter

Academics, not really. Too many, but not that many.

Faux intellectuals with a bachelor’s degree and the arrogance to pretend that makes them an expert in a field, yes.

MIT is quite different from the other Ivy Leagues.
