Edit - Addendum: The video title is quite clickbait-y. The video doesn't want to debunk any "serious" science, but rather investigates how badly done research with no reproducability or horrible statistical significance is used to influence the discourse in favour of regressive politics.

I think the video is very much for someone like you. It actually addresses why eugenics is always a bad idea, even if we know what genes are "bad" and "good", since evolution follows the strategy of increasing the variance of inheritable traits in order to make life resilient to catastrophic events.

No one criticizes behavioral ecology or game theory. You brought those up, but they don't have anything to do with the video at hand.

The issues of evolutionary psychology isn't that humans supposedly didn't "partake in evolution", but rather that it has inherent problems with the scientific method. Most evopsych theses can't be tested and are prone to just-so justification. Seriously: watch the video. It's all it there.
