OF COURSE Simon's a eugenicist!! I mean it checks out. Can't build a hospital, it would make natural selection harder. Can't build a school, then people might realize you're FUCKING NUTS.
This might be a hot take but I currently see Isidor as the lesser evil here. Pathologic 2 shows that his idea was to break the town on order to fix it. The town had serious problems that couldn't be fixed as it was, so he took it apart and left it to Artemy (and eventually the kids) to put it back together in a more functional whole. It was fucked up, dangerous, and unfair to Artemy, but I get it.
SIMON on the other hand (as far as I can tell, I only just finished day 9) was a cult leader. Had some cool ideas, did some cool stuff, but all of thats overshadowed when his magnum opus was to TRY HIS BEST TO KILL EVERYONE. "Huh wonder why this town is so dysfunctional." Oh I dont know, maybe its because YOU KEEP BUILDING THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE CRAZY INSTEAD OF EDUCATION OR HEALTHCARE?? "No, the people are just weak! I'm sure a plague will help!"
Simon was right about one thing, the plague did help because it FUCKING KILLED HIM.
