So the argument is that the hypothetical future generations that longtermists value might be too dumb to care about because of ~~black and brown people reproducing~~ ~~miscegenation~~ "dysgenic pressures". But if we assume, as they appear to, that longtermists should be taken seriously rather than pointed at and mocked, then the math involved would basically necessitate that "certain" people alive today should also merit effectively zero moral consideration. Something tells me that they get real conceptual real fast and start avoiding the shut up and multiply people hard.
