    Shut the fuck up.

    edit:

    Still, the Collinses’ ideas about what will encourage people to have more babies are unconventional, even among other pronatalists.

    They dismiss solutions such as more housing or more money as “unrealistic.” And just because a policy is pro-family — universal day care, for example, or extended parental leave — doesn’t necessarily mean it will encourage people to have more children, they say.

    Instead, they’re pushing for deregulating the day-care industry (“We have data on this,” Malcolm said, sharing a Substack link) and removing car-seat mandates (another Substack link). Requiring parents to have car seats discourages people from having big families, because you can only fit in so many seats, he argued. “In a number of states, you need to be in a car seat until you’re, like, 16, right?”

  • It's endlessly amusing to me that these sorts of people think they are smart. They insist they are geniuses in fact. Yet they are incapable of grasping the glaring obvious reasons that their stated goals clash with their political objectives.

    People must have more kids but we must make the world a worse place and that'll make them have more kids.

    No it won't. It obviously won't to anyone who examines evidence for 15 minutes.

    I understand that some people are lying. Saying they want one thing but actually wanting and doing another. But there are true believers. These types... Musk fanboys... Etc

    I just want to point and laugh at them because they truly are so fucking incapable of understanding despite their education and auras of intelligence

    • this is the end result of devaluation of the humanities. Dunning-Kruger is overused on the internet but freaks like this are just a massive, massive, glaring example of it

      • True. Just the idea "well I know calculus/Java/physics like the back of my hand so I'm clearly an Uber level intellect."

        Accepting you might be good at one thing and not another is surprisingly difficult

    • b-b-b-b-but their mensa memberships!

    • This obvious stupidity is why their attempts to wind people up just leaves me saying "Carry on". A handful of rich idiots are not going to birth themselves out of a minority. They can't. Wealth is by definition a minority. And the more children they have, the more their wealth will be split. Aristocracies of the past showed what happens then. Political affiliation isn't all that hereditary either, so if that's the goal, that's also bound to fail. If it's a race thing—they claim it's not, but...—they need to support other white people, but their ideas just... don't. These people are cosplayers.

  • The dads a weird failson. From the couple's Wikipedia:

    Malcolm is the great-grandson of Carr Collins Sr., founder of the Fidelity Union Life Insurance Company, and grandson of James M. Collins, a Dallas, Texas businessman and politician.

  • Just pump out children and send them into the fields. You can send them to school if they manage to survive past 16!
