Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Eugenics sounds really cool. Not the mandatory sterilisation style, but breeding superhumans? Don’t pretend that wouldn’t be cool.
The problem is, you and me wouldn’t be superhuman. Being a broken-ass, second-rate, classic-style human in a world of superhumans would absolutely not be cool.
Not if we are breeding super humans for meat
“Superhuman” at what? I can’t think of anything dumber than trying to breed “desirable” traits into humans - for every “desirable trait” you put in you are ignoring a plethora of traits that allowed our asses to survive for the last 2 million years.
I don’t know, the more arbitrary the better. Foot hands, maybe.
Or sausage fingers?
Personally, with the advent of gene editing I think breeding “superhumans” will inevitably become the way of the future.
It will likely only be available to those who can afford it and will create an even deeper rift between the “haves” and “have nots” than is already in place.
CRISPR is a really recent development, and I don’t think people truly realize how earth-shattering this new technology will be. Natural evolution is dead for all intents and purposes and we stand at the brink of a new era where the reigns to our own evolution have been thrust directly in our hands. Shit’s gonna be wild.
One thing that makes me think otherwise is how amazingly inexpensive CRISPR is! You can get hold of some for about $150 and do your own eugenics at home! And it isn’t that difficult to learn to do either. Shit, all three of my kids are basically little Bashirs… but don’t tell the government that!
