    What happens when they get there? Given that the people who pushed back against eugenics weren’t rationalists.

    Pretty hard line atheist myself but the simple historical reality is that that movement was founded by and supported today by extremely well educated and respected scientific and “rational” figures, like Mr Effective Altruism himself, Professor of Bioethics, Peter Singer, who argued for the infanticide of disabled infants.

          There’s a girl with an extra toe in there too. The telepath thing is just one possible mutation, from what I recall. In the more irradiated parts the mutations get more extreme.
