'elite' couple

Can't be bothered with seeing properly

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I think you missed the point where they want more of the "right people" whatever that means. They think they can outbreed everyone else and win by having the most right people. See just about every major religion as a case study for this.

I actually quite like the idea that Humanity will survive as a result of these weird cunts and their breeding programme; but only as a race of subterranean mole people with too poor eyesight for the surface world.

There are 8 billion people in this world, and it will continue to grow until there are about 10 billion of us here. The world is dying because each of us takes too much, gives back too little and frankly, there are about 3 billion too many of us. The world is dying because there are too many humans AND THESE FUCKERS ARE SCARED THST BIRTH DECLINE WILL BE AN ISSUE? They actually advocate for more humans because if we don't, cultures will somehow disappear? Economies will collapse?

You know what will collapse all economies, soon enough? Climate change. It will fuck all and everything. There is a realistic chance that within a few decades tops, this "the world still generates enough food to feed everyone twice over, it's just that we keep throwing away most of the food over actually making sure it gets to the hungry"will turn into "the world can only generate enough food to feed about 5 billion or less of us".

How do you think your precious economy will respond to the ensuing wars and everything?

Why is it that even mentally deficient idiots like this can become "leaders" whilst actually smart people have to sit in the sidelines?

Oh yeah, sheer narcissism and psychopathy. They get you to the top of the food chain.

The Collinses refuse to give their daughters traditionally feminine names, because they believe social research shows that women with feminine names are taken less seriously

Their daughters are named Titan Invictus and Industry Americus.

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 35 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_and_Malcolm_Collins

Well that's just a fucking trip of dysfunction.

Just that bit is a lot.

If the population declined and it makes the economy do less well, won't people just have more children like they did the last time the economy was in that state? Every environment has a carrying capacity for the creatures that live in it. It's not uncommon to see fluctuations above and below that equilibrium point.
Instead of pushing people to ignore the factors that cause the limit in humans, like not wanting or needing more children, maybe find a way to organize society so hitting that limit doesn't cause massive problems, or try to eliminate some of the factors creating the limit. It's insanely difficult in our society to have even one child who's healthy, cared for, and prepared for their adult life while also being personally healthy, prepared for old age, and enjoying the variety of pleasures of existence.

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.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I let my children eat trash out of dumpsters. I determined it was a good idea after personally observing raccoons while on a park trip.

[-] Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 39 points 3 days ago

It's probably more like they can't deny the reality of trans people, but they think that it's a very tiny minority and the rest are just cultists.

You see this same fallacy with autism. Why are there "suddenly" more autistic kids? It isn't because vaccines are giving them autism or something like that. It's because doctors know what to look for to diagnose now.

People fall into this same trap with trans people, because 20 years ago it was extremely rare to meet an out trans person. So, now it looks like they're suddenly everywhere! What could be the cause? A trans cult recruiting people?!

No, it's a cultural shift. Damn, people can be stupid sometimes.

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.

Because they like the idea of supporting data but not the reality

Having worked in public policy for several years, the 26-year-old Londoner had come to an alarming realisation about the future of the UK, the world – and the human species.

She's 26?

What is "several" defined as here? 2? 3?
