Social Mood and the Eugenics
Movement: Will You
Make the Cut?
By 1945, the Nazi genocides had removed all sympathy for
the practice of weeding out "inferior" peoples.
But do you realize how popular this ideology was before World
War II, even in England and America? Avid proponents of the
"eugenics" movement included Alexander Graham Bell,
William Randolph Hearst, Woodrow Wilson, John Maynard Keynes,
Winston Churchill, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
and Yale economist Irving Fisher.
Educated people seem to think the eugenics movement will
never rise from history’s trash bin. Alas, the facts say otherwise.
A dramatic change toward a negative social mood began in 2007:
Like it or not, that mood will drive the resurgence of eugenics.
Impossible, you say? Please consider the evidence.
Eugenics is already making a comeback. The Netherlands
recently considered a bill that would force two years of contraception
on "unfit mothers" and place their babies in state
care. A New Zealand politician proposed paying the "appalling
underclass" not to breed. A well-known scientist and
author complains that earth has "too many people."
Yes, this is mostly talk -- so far. But talk always comes
first. The deeds soon follow.
The Socionomics Institute unveils its latest well-researched
forecast for social change and asks, "Will You Make
the Cut?"
Remember, The Socionomist forecasted a militant
turn in Russia before it attacked the Republic of
Georgia. It predicted a new season of epidemic disease before
the pandemic outbreak of Swine Flu. It forecasted a rise in
serial killings before the latest two serial killers
made headlines. It predicted surrender in the Drug War before
Mexico decriminalized certain drugs and President Obama ordered
the FDA to stop raiding medical marijuana facilities.

make the cut?
