yes but that means those genes aren't shitty
evolution does not prioritize being strong, smart, fast, or healthy: all it cares about is making babies
if your genes enable you to make babies then they are "good" genes and anything which influences making babies (which was historically often those other listed traits) is influenced by genetics
right now we are selecting for low impulse control, poor planning, criminality, being stupid and uneducated, being a rapist, and having tattoos - these are some of the biggest predictors in having kids
since there are broadly not the normal pressures of scarce resources, disease, etc all the classically "good" traits are no longer relevant
however, they are relevant in circles which care about being humans and not primates which is why i assert that there will be more and more divergence between the lower classes and the upper classes with an increasingly thin middle class and increasingly difficult social mobility
we are some of the last people in this epoch for which it is still possible to transcend your childhood status - in the future state schools will be so much more like zoos that we will consider contemporary ones to have been a great standard before a terrible decline
education will be reserved for those who can afford private, even more than it already is, and an inability to go will lock you out of civil society
