I have written (and podcasted) at length about eugenics; It's not ambiguous where I stand on it. This from the chapter on Lewis Terman in The Genius Myth. I also cover Francis Galton, who coined the term, and William Shockley, who tried to mainstream the idea again in the 70s. https://t.co/czkUyUz2c6
