Why do all of these tech oligarchs believe it’s their duty to have as many kids as possible on the back of their financial muscle while accruing huge amount of emotional debt for their children’s development.

    I don’t have 100 children. But I just want to be spending more time with the children I do have, instead of exchanging time for dollars every day.

    If I had more money, that’s what I’d do instead of fathering more.

    Because they all believe that a) their own financial success proves they are intellectually superior, because they believe capitalism is a perfect meritocracy, b) that intellectual superiority is 100% heritable, so it will definitely be passed down to the children and therefore c) it is their duty to improve humanity by making as many genetically superior children as possible.

    It’s basically eugenics. They all believe in it because they all listen to Mencius Moldbug.

    I think you said it. His kids probably don’t want to say a word to this fuckwit, but need to in order to survive into the future.
