I feel like proper eugenics was pretty soundly debunked as people are more complicated than peas. I think that the only thing you can reliably predict is race.

And these people look like that Nazi from Raiders of The Lost Ark.

We need miners that can work without light since the power is needed for generative AI.

No, you're thinking of the Morlocks. These idiots will obviously be the Elois.

That might even be true, but you know what names will be taken even less seriously? Titan Invictus and Industry Americus. 😂 Freaks creating freaks.

Invictus & Americus as standalone wouldn't be the worst names, but Titan & Industry? For women? Those "names" sound rough as sandpaper. These people are so book-smart, and without friends/contacts to keep them in touch with reality, they've become kinda dumb & fallen prey to delusions of grandeur.

Wiki on this couple is an amusing, terrifying, and short read. I was wondering what they do for work, what their contribution to the world is. The answer....not much... "Venture capitalism", so basically they're money farmers investing money to make money. A necessary role, but not directly producing anything themselves. And tech MGMT, again, probably not directly producing many works but cracking the whip & supervising other people doing work. Color me not impressed.

They claim they're not eugenicists, conflating eugenics with racism. Which simply isn't true, what a stupid thing to say. They are eugenicists, they actively screen & sort embryos, pursuing the best results. That is eugenics, and there's nothing particularly wrong with that. Very practical.

Both are the products of failed relationships, the man a classic failed marriage, the other a failed polyamorous marriage in Japan. They married after a proposal...over Reddit. Jesus Christ, am I on drugs? Is this real?

"Do you spank your kids?" "Oh, heavens no, how barbaric. Inspired by tigers in the wild, I slap my kids across the face. 😇" Lol!! Wth. 🙃 These kids will likely be mental trainwrecks (just like their parents) if they don't straight-up commit suicide.

That shit sounds like 4channers that got too much money, it's beyond stupid

Yeah, this is sad. These are people in dire need of mental health care and they're not getting it because their narcissism is in the way.

We should make it so that when someone is too narcissistic that they need mental help, that we can force them. Their poor daughters will now have to live with this shit and become just like them and the cycle continues

they could easily be Fallout characters lol. I am all into science and shit but Titan Invictus for god's sake? This is why we need parenting licenses to prevent people like these ruining childhoods.

Industry Americus

That's the grossest name I've ever heard. Look, I'm not even getting into the "Americus" part. Sure, that is... well, it's not a name I would've picked. But more importantly, it follows the word Industry, and whether alone or paired to American industries specifically, the images conjured up from that word are far from pleasant.

I picture smoke stacks belching into smoggy, yellow skies. I see poisoned streams flowing through dying ecosystems. I see tired workers being overworked and exploited.

What a great name for a cute little baby to be burdened with.

I had hoped that was an onion link

Haha you're hillari...oh shit.

Glasses make me look weak. They're like a wheelchair for the eyes.

The Collinses married after Malcolm proposed on Reddit in 2013.

Absolutely adore this bit from the screenshot:

which is based on Simone's personal observations of lions and tigers on a safari trip.

Sad we have no studies on human children. But thankfully its perfectly reasonable for someone on holiday who's untrained in interpreting big cat behavior to decide whats good for a bunch of animals is good for human kids too.

Ironic that they claim all of their decisions are backed by data, but still employ corporal punishment. That's something that had been quite definitively demonstrated to be far less effective than other measures.

I just read their wiki page and it is absolutely filled to the brim with crazy wacky shit.

The Collinses do not support transgender health care for youth, but express acceptance for people whom Simone described as "legit trans" as opposed to those who fall into the "trans cult." Simone opposes allowing transgender students to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity and to play on sports teams matching their gender identity.

As a trans woman, this stood out to me. I'm not surprised that they are transphobic, but why make the point about "legit trans" and "trans cult?" I assume they consider "legit trans" to be the tiny percentage of transgender people who are right-wing nuts and the "trans cult" are those who aren't. Basically they're just saying "We only support transgender people who want their faces eaten" which is a strange way of phrasing it since usually transphobes tell all of us to go fuck ourselves, including the dumb ones that support the leopards.

... They have a Wikipedia page? In the mentally ill people section, or what?

Two fishes fucked and made a deformed fish that liked air more than water. And now I have to "clean the garage" and "not eat all the cheese its". Fucking ass hole parent fish.

Is a complete lack of self awareness heritable? Are they going to breed a race of super clueless whities with bad eyesight?
