People on this site love the idea of spreading our awesome genes through sperm/egg donation, but I wonder how many have tried. I'm sure LWers are above average in brains, but what gene banks wants are largely beauty, height, and flawless family history. As a population I expect we're average or below average in those things.
So if you're tall, handsome, and have no family history of any diseases, congratulations.
That's why I'd have to achieve something high status first- say, becoming a partner in a law firm. That way, I'll at least maximise my chances of evolutionary sucess (relative to any other avaliable options, given that it's in the scheme of things minor).
My general knowledge and geography is, however, rather poor. There are a few things I want to know about- some general questions, and some things that require at least some rationality to assess.
What I want to avoid:
-Internet censorship
-Laws restricting my ability to 'go about my buisness' (e.g laws in Europe involving intervening in a crisis)
-Weak economies
-Weak property rights (I'd count everywhere where it's illegal to kill a burgular robbing my home- weak meaning weak relative to what I want, admittedly)
-Places of poor employment for whatever profession I go (most likely lawyers).
It's easy to work out where those are the case now- but gaining a decent model of where a country that's nice to live in may exist in the future (i.e no censorship, strong economy, good employment and wages, little interference in my life) is very, very difficult even in the best case scenario. Furthurmore, it's almost certain I can't secure them all.
Does anybody know of any countries where it is likely that over the next two decades or so these standards are at least likely to be well met? I know it's unlikely, but the expected value of posting this is positive and I place a high enough value on finding out that I'm giving it a try.
