Part 4/6:
A provocative point is raised about how rationality, if unmoored from morality, could lead to dystopian ideologies. The speaker questions, "If we are produced by evolution and want a superior race, why shouldn't we ensure that inferior people don't reproduce?"
They suggest that, from a purely rational perspective, such eugenic ideas could seem "sane" or logical in their pursuit of a "better" human race. Yet, the speaker recognizes this as an immoral path, illustrating how reason alone, without moral grounding, can justify heinous actions.
The critical barrier to such practices, they argue, is humanity's inner sense of morality—a moral intuition or universal sense of right and wrong that prevents society from adopting such ruthless policies.
