anakin-padme-1 We have to ensure that people are meeting their potential.

anakin-padme-2 And exceeding it?

anakin-padme-3 No one exceeds his potential.

anakin-padme-4 lf he did?

anakin-padme-3 lt simply means that we didn't accurately gauge his potential in the first place

makes zero sense, they would need a dataset showing every detail of an embryo and correlating it to IQ later in life, no such thing exists, period

eugenicist designer babies make far more sense with our current technology, reasonably you could measure what their eye color or hair color would be and abort if you didnt like it (wtf lol imagine putting your body through all of this just to get a baby like this)

Managers boasted their methods could produce a gain of more than six IQ points.

bro what a normal person can experience iq swings on a particular day greater than this just by not sleeping well
