The Oneida Community, led by John Humphrey Noyes. If nothing else can be said about him, he was a good guesser.
Unfortunately, his success has so hypnotized Eugenicists that they, too, think that they can play God. And almost invariably, they not only can’t, but end up hurting a lot of people in the process.
I live near Oneida. It was quite a community, from the book I read about it. Noyes’ still live around there and the Mansion House in Kenwood is still in use as an apartment residence and a museum of sorts. You can even eat there, I think. Expensive, I’m sure. You can tour the place. I also remember a book my parents had on Eugenics. Can’t remember what it was about and that’s probably GOOD.
Yes, we try to play God and then ignore Him. Aren’t humans odd, though (LOL). Maryxxx
