TL;DR: Musk has 23 kids and NDAs with (most or all of) the mothers because he wants them to be his Mars scions well I finally fiinished the rest of the article and I got trolled where I got this from, it doesn't say that. I'm sorry
this was what :will-fancy: was speculating about in the last listenable Chapo episode
Oh no, they're doing Gattaca.
Oh no, THEY KNOW THEY'RE DOING GATTACA.
Somehow, that's worse to me.
Edit because it just keeps getting worse.
I see Thiel's name, and the Kill Bill siren starts going off in my head. I genuinely wish that man would drop dead.
I found a new philosophy to hate.

Determinism stop being flypaper for the most arrogant and obnoxious assholes on the planet challenge.
Disclaimer: I'm not even saying that determinism is certain to be wrong. I'm saying the ideology nonetheless tends to draw in some of the most arrogant and obnoxious assholes on the planet.
Ham Sarris guys
agreed with the flypaper comment. I like Matt's formulation here: even though you have to act as though you have free will, you know that everyone else doesn't, and you don't either— you just can't tell how, what is making you do the thing you're doing, and that is also consciousness. they're inextricably linked
There's even a fandom overlap with "simulation theory" types and my same answer applies to both: so what?
At best there's nothing that can really be done about it. At worst some techbro could find some way to make life even worse for everyone by applying "deterministic" principles in some new Torment Nexus way while seeing everyone as "NPCs" and therefore beneath concern for their suffering. I've yet to hear a proposal about how to change how society works "because free will don't real" that doesn't involve making things actually worse.
This article is really something :agony-limitless:
I need to stop reading this article, I think it's breaking my brain.
These freaks are empty inside and lonely in a way where they deserve it.
Imagine your sweet old granny texting your parents “Remember: Everything is transactional.” Who are these people? Are they human?

They say it isn't eugenics (they're lying).
