I am unfamiliar with your term Critical Theory. Is this similar to or different than CRT?

When you describe mutational load theory, it reminds me of the mutations caused by inbreeding too tightly within cultures: King Charles II, the Hapsburg King of Spain being the most well-known example. Many cultures still refuse to breed with people of different nationalities/races, prefering not to change the genetic make-up of their ancestors. Yet in doing so, isn't each generation less "fit" than the champion genetics of their greatest ancestors?

Every person has a list of sexual turn-ons. This preference to choose a suitable breeding mate, or not is either genetically encoded into us, and/or learned psychologically through our environment. Does the DNA and culture always tend to program the ideal instincts, or does it more often cause people to misfire and develop unimportant fetishes? Who can say? Science and emotions never understand the other.

One thing I do understand is scientific laws and theories and social relationships do not mix well. You can show proof why two people are a perfect match, and they will still insist, "...not if they were the last person on earth!" The amount of research and support that goes into terrible ideas for various social programs in government, and ultimately fail... it is hard for motivated people to accept failure even when everyone else can plainly see they were misguided by false expectations to begin with.

Most people still fail in relationships (lovers, spouses, family, friends, career) to stay productive and happy. Most of us all want to get along in peace, right? After thousands of years, the human race has learned nothing, yet we write volumes of lie-braries on these subjects! Quantum Theory often seems opposite or against what we expect in the standard measurable world, and I think the same is true when we assume measurable data is proof that large groups of people will respond a certain way in any particular future outcome.

Weirdly, and against our moral code, there are instances whereby providing a seemingly unnecessary challenge, people are more willing to adapt so they can make progress to achieve what they truly need, rather than giving them what they initially ask for. It doesn't occur to our moral consciousness that it was more helpful to provide the challenge than to provide the easier gift.
