Unfortunately it seems that cultural aspects like accepting homosexuality, allowing women to run their own lives and valuing higher education and a scientific mindset are correlated with not prioritizing the reproduction of their culture to the next generation. I'd like the average human in a 100 years to be a bit more like me and a bit less like the average human today. But the rest of the Western world doesn't seem to see it that way.

> Unfortunately it seems that cultural aspects like accepting homosexuality... Are you aware of the research that correlates homosexual traits in men with higher fertility in women from the same genes[1]? These factors are not a strict net-negative. In addition, "culture" isn't transmitted genetically. You could spread a culture with below replacement reproductive rates if the culture was persuasive enough. There's not a "democracy" gene that suddenly emerged and spread from 17th century England. It was the ideas that spread.
