SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of finding a balance between inbreeding and outbreeding, specifically questioning if a "happy medium" exists. Participants argue that inbreeding, associated with historical ideologies, contrasts sharply with outbreeding, which is viewed more favorably. The consensus leans towards the idea that mating with individuals who are not closely related, ideally within the same species, is preferable. The conversation also touches on the attractiveness of mixed-race individuals, highlighting personal preferences and societal perceptions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of genetic diversity and its implications
  • Familiarity with concepts of inbreeding and outbreeding
  • Knowledge of human mating practices and societal norms
  • Awareness of historical contexts regarding mating ideologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the genetic implications of inbreeding and outbreeding
  • Explore studies on the attractiveness of mixed-race individuals
  • Investigate the historical impact of ideologies on mating practices
  • Learn about the biological consequences of mating within species
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for geneticists, sociologists, and anyone interested in the implications of mating practices on genetic diversity and societal perceptions of attractiveness.

Is there a statistically identifiable "happy medium" between inbreeding (incestuous mating, say) and outbreeding (interspecies mating, say)? Nazis seemed to promote inbreeding, whereas sodomists might seek outbreeding. The happy medium, for instance, might be mating one's third cousin twice removed.

I don't think there is a happy medium. The further away from a direct relative the better (as long as you stay within your species).

Yes. The happy medium is to mate with humans of the opposite sex, that are not biologically related to you.
 
Well, there goes my superintelligent, hermaphriditic, yak-man hybrid project.
