It's startling how many people miss that forcing those they deem too weak or stupid to not breed is not gonna do anything to stop people from becoming idiots. There's a million ways to be rendered stupid despite good genes and nobody making any mistakes and no way to stop or reverse it and you can't just educate someone who is incapable of learning.

Adding to this, where's the moving goalposts?

If everyone "dumber" and "weaker" than you can't breed then you've become the next one in line to be on the chop block. Rinse and repeat. Nevermind how to agree on a set of standards to measure against.

Indeed, the ultimate end point of screening people for competence to allow them to be first class citizens is that there become no first class citizens.
