Oddbean new post about login | logout Elon's "smart [white] people should make lots of babies" rhetoric is highly driven by white supremacist replacement theory and eugenics, and it's something he couples with intentional, aggressive reproduction. The way he treats the actual labor behind production (aka women) should be a powerful lesson for any women tempted to play handmaiden to these types. https://jezebel.com/grimes-sues-elon-musk-over-their-3-kids-1850895116 https://files.mstdn.party/media_attachments/files/111/176/672/642/507/162/original/f3d5b575d057c13e.jpg
@627b1480 What I love most is that after decades (if not centuries) of Eugenic claptrap, genetics has shown that intelligence is not hereditary. There are no markers for intelligence. Everything that makes people "smarter" is learned. (And the definition of "smart" varies wildly across cultures.) Also funny: if human genetic diversity was expressed in animal terms: human beings would be one breed.
