I Left My Blogger's Life To Become An S-Rank Rationalist Cult Leader In A Bay Area Group House

Yeah these people have found their weird PR niche. There's nothing separating these people from other rich white Americans who can also comfortably provide for ~3 kids with good schooling and higher education. The real pronatalists are the scary Quiverful people who are a lot more numerous but are also religious fundies. There's no way the Collinses can compete with them because that subculture already believes around 90% of what they believe but are more effective at spreading their memes.

Looking forward to the conversation:
"Honey, I've met someone who fulfills the criteria we established when we started our relationship. They are 50% better than you".
"OK, let me see.... nope, I don't agree, that person is at best 25% better than me. If you leave me for them, I am suing for breach of contract."
TPOT stands for "this part of twitter" and is apparently a Rationalist splinter group.
No it does not make sense.
