The Collinses married after Malcolm proposed on Reddit in 2013.

Out of all the nuttiness of their Wikipedia page, that one stood out to me.

The conceit and egotism of these people is laughable.

Is a complete lack of self awareness heritable? Are they going to breed a race of super clueless whities with bad eyesight?

This couple and really anyone who learned about evolution by watching Idiocracy: if intelligent parents are needed to make intelligent babies, from where did intelligence first arise?

Two fishes fucked and made a deformed fish that liked air more than water. And now I have to "clean the garage" and "not eat all the cheese its". Fucking ass hole parent fish.

If human parents are needed to make human babies, from where did humans first arise?

Please explain who the hell are these freaks, just read the wiki page

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?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

That's a really good point. It's not an evident thing from my perspective because being transgender is so normal to me that I don't know if I would have ever even thought about that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Look up trans medicalist they kind of seem to fit in there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I know about transmeds, and considering that they think medical transitioning is required, I think it would be weird for a transmed to be against blockers and hrt for kids.

I encourage everyone to read the entire wiki page as well, and it will make sense why they are the way they are.

They're breeding for different reasons.

Those inverted commas around 'elite' are doing so much work they should probably unionise.
