Twin study suggests rationality and intelligence share the same genetic roots - the study suggests that being irrational, or making illogical choices, might simply be another way of measuring lower intelligence.

People like to pretend we are the one animal not behaviorally influenced by our genetics but we are, we know behavior traits can be selected for in various species the problem is a matter of a choice and we as a people need to choose not to engage in legally enforced Eugenics in people while still acknowledging reality that we don't know what we don't know and allowing research to proceed so we can perhaps still find treatments for problematic behaviors that may have a genetic or epigenetic component.

Ok, how we categorize "Problematic" behavior? Is "Autism" problematic behavior? Is "Schizoid" a problematic behavior? Is "Narcissicsm" a problematic behavior?

To even entertain behavioral genetic engineering to cure "problematic" behavior is more problematic than those "problematic" behavior themselves.

Each condition you list causes untold human suffering and anguish over the courses of entire lifetimes, yes they are all problematic and should be eliminated if possible.

Narcissism? Maybe.

Low-Functioning Autism? Maybe.

High-Functioning Autism? Most of them don't think their condition as something bad and something needed to be cured.

Most of them don't think their condition as something bad and something needed to be cured.

Do you have a source for this? Because I sure wish I could be cured.

[u/Foolishium → u/mud074]

Then you are not most of them. Exception exist.

So you don't have a source and are just making up statistics on /r/science?
