How have I never heard that Elon has 11 fucking kids? Every bourgeois "hero" pushing this movement deserves .

If decreasing birth rates are scaring you so much for the future of humanity, as if you ever really gave a shit about it, then stop enslaving the working class to the point that they have no time or money for kids.

Save the world from what? Climate change? Even ol' Elon has jumped in on the climate change denial trend.

And why do I think every single one of them wants to sterilize anyone who isn't 100% white?

This is not Quiverfull, the fundamentalist Christian belief that large families are a blessing from God. The Collinses are atheists; they believe in science and data, studies and research. Their pronatalism is born from the hyper-rational effective altruism movement...

yeah ok there it is. technofascists, like the real ones.

The wall is too good for these freaks

As of 2024, they have four children. They are, by order of birth: Octavian (son), Torsten (son), Titan Invictus (daughter), and Industry Americus (daughter).

The state of these poor kids, especially the state of the last two names

I had thought the main thing that made it hard was that it’s now so incredibly expensive to raise children.

“No,” Malcolm says. “Not at all.”

Also, wasn't into this shit, too?

CEOs and non-profit entrepreneur

so, they run a vulture capital enterprise that has a tax evasion subsidiary.

if they don't end up in prison for fraud, one of their kids is gonna shoot them with one of their mounted guns after seeing a sibling getting smacked one too many times.

wasn't an article on these people written in american media like nine months ago

EDIT: yeah it was a Chapo reading series in episode 682 Longpsermism from November 2022, so I was off by like a year

Malcolm and Simone Collins are some of the most moronic people alive. They're both failson inheritors of their parents' wealth and have "jobs" operating their own foundations or some shit. They are actual firm believers in Effective Altruism and nominative determinism, which is why all their kids have fucking stupid names. They're both actual redditors with full bazinga brain.

They genuinely believe their genetics are imperative to pass down because the ability to accumulate wealth is, as far as they're aware, genetic. Their genetics also gave both of them the smoothest brains ever recorded, I'm talking SI standard for frictionless surface.

The one benefit to their harebrained scheme to populate the world with billionaires is that all of their children will be failures from the get-go, having been raised by secular Calvinists, and with so many children their wealth will wither and vanish in a series of unsuccessful artists, honorary MBA entrepreneurships, and the hordes of by-the-hour lawyers each child will hire to wrest pennies from each other's inheritance.

Whoever convinced the idle rich to do the opposite of a single child policy to split their family fortune up is a pretty funny bit. A few generations and the rich will breed themselves down to middle class.

The imminent arrival of their fourth child, a girl they plan to name Industry Americus Collins, turns out to be only the first in a string of surprises – and one really shocking thing – that I will encounter during my day with the pronatalists

I can’t read this. You can’t make me

Elon has 11 kids? wtf?

birth rate is such a bad modifer though it's better late game to move on to women's suffrage laws for that +%workforce bonus while focusing on immigration to boost your population

The people that believe they have the greatest genetics in the world to carry the future human race have terrible eyesight and need glasses apparently.

Not that I'm against glasses or anything but you know it's clown shit when people that are naturally blind claim to have the best genetics.

My grandma had 9 kids and didn’t make being a parent her personality….

Those poor kids. At first I was laughing at these dumbasses but the end of the article feels like falling into a pit.

Lmao fucking freaks. They can do this shit all they want and the national birthrate will still trail behind Guatemala’s.

INDUSTRY

Giving your kid some kind of nerd ass Latin-sounding "power name" should result in you being forced to eat boiled shoelaces every day until you die
