    Nazis will take any data they want and turn it evil, even if it’s only half true. And they’ll ignore data that conflicts with their belief. It doesn’t matter what science discovers.

    We already have evidence that some forms of “evil” are inheritable. This isn’t new. For instance example, I saw a documentary like 20 years ago that showed how one adopted baby—in a nice suburban family, with a couple other perfectly normal kids—was a criminal at a young age. Like stealing-a-school-bus-at-age-nine criminal, and that was just one of many examples. They showed two family trees: his adopted and his biological, and highlighted people who had been arrested, convicted of crimes, etc. They used a few different colors, and sometimes colored in one person’s node with two or more colors. His adopted family had like one spot going back 3 generations. His biological family was a rainbow! Remember, he was adopted as a baby and raised with love, and the other kids were fine.

    And science has demonstrated that offspring of stressed-out female mice are much more aggressive than their peers.

    Now what do we do with this kind of data? Be proactive about helping certain kids if they have certain genes. Give them safe outlets for their impulses, or what have you. Extra monitoring. I dunno.

    As for the stressed-out mothers… If you want to stop generational crime, give financial support and therapy to low income mothers. Because their stress is likely epigenetically producing criminal children.

    What would a Nazi do? Nothing. Nazis don’t care if people are evil. What are they going to do, eugenics themselves? They’re the ones with the most colorful family trees.

    Just some food for thought. I don’t think we should suppress science just because Nazis exist.
