The Intersection of Eugenics and Policy

The segment discusses how eugenics influenced the creation of an "erroneous intelligence hierarchy" among ethnic groups by failing to account for language barriers and education. The hosts argue that modern policy has shifted from "culling" to "picking the cherries," where elite institutions use zip codes and curves to find overachievers from poor backgrounds to integrate into the system, a practice criticized by Justice Clarence Thomas.
