1
Eugenics is an interesting word because it could be used to describe a number of different things.
2
So one way to think about eugenics is just as selective breeding or sort of control over reproduction.
3
So if we think about involuntary sterilization in Virginia in the 1920s.
4
That's saying there's better people, there's worse people.
5
It's on the basis of something quote -unquote genetic about them and we're gonna allocate freedoms on the basis of that hierarchy.
6
Some people have reproductive autonomy, they get to choose to have children, but other people don't.
7
They are involuntarily sterilized.
8
So it's this control of reproduction that's coercive and is based on this idea, this hierarchy of people.
9
The predominant response to the eugenic perspective has been what I call genome blindness
10
and that's really the idea that we should avoid studying or talking about scientifically or politically biological or genetic differences between people.
11
We can't use any genetic information to slot people into eugenic hierarchy
12
if there are no genetic differences or if we insist they don't matter.
13
If you ask the average American how much do you think genes influence your intelligence or personality or risk for mental illness,
14
their answer is almost never zero.
15
So if people already think that genes make a difference for outcomes that they care about,
16
if the only people that are talking about that are the most extreme, sometimes hate -filled voices, that is a problem.
17
I really worry that too much of the conversation is focused right now on on the ethics of knowledge production,
18
and not enough on the brass tacks of legislation and policy at the state -by -state level.
19
I have a colleague and friend here at the University of Texas who wrote a fascinating book called Predict and Surveil.
20
She embedded herself with the LA Police Department for several years and looked how they saw predictive policing,
21
algorithms, and data aggregation in order to police, and I would say over -police, some communities.
22
And a lot of the data that they're using comes from proprietary software that's provided by for -profit companies.
23
When people think about dystopian scenarios,
24
I actually worry less about the overt white nationalists and more about people who know they can make money using genetic information.
25
So the challenge then is how do we identify genetic differences between people?
26
Even genetic differences that might have a relationship to outcomes we care about socially,
27
so something like intelligence or education or impulsivity, without using them or interpreting them eugenically.
28
When we think about our own intimate relationships, we can separate what makes someone valuable, worthy of freedom, worthy of resources,
29
worthy of consideration of welfare, from what does our capitalist economy currently value
30
and I think that's the distinction that we also need to draw between observing genetic differences versus using them eugenically.

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 6 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel don't, can't, gonna. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: worthy /ˈwɝ.ði/, ethics /ˈɛθ.ɪks/, algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: reproduction /ˌɹiːpɹəˈdʌkʃən/, consideration /kənˌsɪd.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, distinction /dɪˈstɪŋkʃən/, socially /ˈsoʊʃəli/, nationalist /ˈnæʃ.ə.nə.lɪst/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: hierarchy /ˈhaɪ.ə.ɹɑː(ɹ).ki/, reproduction /ˌɹiːpɹəˈdʌkʃən/, biological /ˌbaɪ.əˈlɑ.d͡ʒɪ.kəl/, consideration /kənˌsɪd.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, nationalist /ˈnæʃ.ə.nə.lɪst/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): worthy /ˈwɝ.ði/, welfare /ˈwɛlˌfɛɚ/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: breed /ˈbɹiːd/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/, colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, selective /səˈlɛktɪv/, reproductive /ˌɹiːpɹəˈdʌktɪv/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: brass /bɹæs/, algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/, nationalist /ˈnæʃ.ə.nə.lɪst/, capitalist /ˈkæp.ɪ.tə.lɪst/, aggregation /æɡɹəˈɡeɪʃən/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie genetic, worthy, hierarchy.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
