"Through effective altruism, longtermism, and pronatalism, they’re trying to have us believe that they should remain in charge and we should let them set the course of our collective future. The idea is that since they’ve built large tech companies and accumulated sizeable bank balances that they’re best placed to set societal priorities. Yet nothing could be further from the truth — and more people are recognizing it."

Finally, know one thing: is a fool’s errand, one of those special forms of stupidity that seems to afflict the narrowly bright. We are who we are – cursedly, blessedly – and on the basis of a very robust empirical record, I do not expect any program of human “optimization” to end in anything but tears.

Arwa Mahdawi: ‘Hipster eugenics’: why is the media cosying up to people who want to build a super race? Self-proclaimed ‘pro-natalists’ don’t go around saying that they only want white babies, but there’s a thin line between their movement and the ‘great replacement theory’

"While pro-natalists don’t exactly go around saying that they only want white people to be born, there is a very thin line between their concern about birth rates in the developed world and the racist and antisemitic “great replacement theory”....It goes without saying that the global population is currently increasing, not decreasing, and the fastest growth is happening in Africa and Asia"

A question I ask after reading Dave Karpf's essay about the infatuation of Elon Mosk and other "rich, white, extremely-online techies" (let me add: rich, white, extremely online MEN for the most part) with pronatalism:

Why? Why does this belief that the future lies in producing lots of people just like ourselves so compel rich white men?

Could the answer possibly be N-A-R-C-I-S-S-I-S-M? And definitely throw racism into the mix.

The gods of Silicon Valley are falling to earth. So are their warped visions for society

This “earn-to-give” philosophy is dependent on data-driven analysis of what causes offer the best returns of “betterment”. It’s utilitarianism with a god complex

"When we view these monoliths as businesses like any other, or allow them to claim global monopolies, we fail to realise that they are competing for more than our attention or our cash: they are competing for the right to dictate what our societies look like."

This article only scratches the very surface of how, in a new Gilded Age, wealthy young men are embracing whackaloon ideas about "effective altruism" and "pronatalism" to talk about remaking society around some pretty twisted values. (Could have done way more to address the role of horrible concepts of masculinity in shaping the techbro worldview...)

Most humans hope to impact the world. Leaving it just a little bit better than when they arrived. Unfortunately there are those who overestimate their abilities to do the same apple.news/A9OGvmtimTlGiFo-Hfg

Většina témat týkající se Muska je málo zajímavá, ale tohle je fascinující. Musk má 10 dětí, a zřejmě to není náhoda, spíš součást širšího trendu.

@Frances_Coppola Me thinks that the point is not about the demise of :birdsite:
It's about the toxicity of the ideologies that the chief tweet espouses.
Let's talk about the the the utter insanity of the and what makes possible their power grab.

Just when you thought the techbros and silver-spoons of the world couldn’t get any worse, we get Quiverful for the 1%. Or, as they call it, “ “.
