Fluoridation of drinking water is ever so emblematic of the technocratic state’s arrogant policy misadventures - many if not most of them. After many years of rule accretion (think a scatological analogy to the addition of nacreous layers to form a pearl), their now-reflexive normalcy (and other) bias and more importantly, their blind lust for power, lead them to be promiscuous in their rule making.
Were they sensible, with an actual smidgeon of humility and motivated to actually promote the “public good”, they would be much more circumspect in their rule promulgation - especially those many to which criminal penalties attach for non-observance! Again and again, these wizards descend to blatantly-sinful hubris and act as though they were oligarchs with complete understanding and control of incomprehensibly complex systems like a civil (or even a military) society. It is painfully obvious, empirically, that nothing could be further from the truth. Ask almost any sentient “beneficiary” of most any federal policy. Note that it is a feature and not a bug of said policy to strategically reduce the number of said sentient individuals. QED.
Assortative mating is right up there with “reporting increase” and “homosexuals are born not made” as a Narrative Bulwark in defense of The Regime.
Twin studies demonstrate that the genetic factors for autism and homosexuality are no more than about 50%. The fact that these factors are promoted by the likes of Borat Cohen’s brother isn’t, by itself, diagnostic of the motives, but it is a pretty good indicator.
Assortative migration is the one thing that could lead people to discover all kinds of causes of environmental and social ills while, at the same time, nuking the imposition on non-consenting populations virulent social experiments on a mass scale without any experimental controls to infer what the consequences of those experiments are.
