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 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

As someone who grew up in a failed marriage sometimes I feel like it was a minor achievement for me to have a happy romantic life, but then I see people who look at how fucked up their parents were and say "hold my beer"

That shit sounds like 4channers that got too much money, it's beyond stupid

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 19 points 6 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.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 6 days ago

I had hoped that was an onion link

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.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago

Haha you're hillari...oh shit.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 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

breeding to save mankind from what, round heads and good eyesight?

[–] Whateley@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

They want to bring back the Habsburg chin.

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 6 days ago

We need miners that can work without light since the power is needed for generative AI.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

No, you're thinking of the Morlocks. These idiots will obviously be the Elois.

[–] guiguinofake@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago

'elite' couple

Can't be bothered with seeing properly

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 36 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's like they saw that scene in Idiocracy and took it literally

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

They literally did

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.

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.

Yes! Produce more slaves for our overlords, or the world will end!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

They're producing exclusively Boss Babies

HA HAHAHA HAAA HAHAHA and I can't stress this enough HAAAAAAA

But also, aren't these just autistic people? Of the type we used to call Aspergers?

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They are highly atypical & their marriage is the result of a proposal over Reddit back in 2013. Wiki is wild.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Atheists with divinely inspired scripture? Wow. OK everything there is concerning. These people seem like they need to touch grass and do something normal and weird like community theater instead of whatever bullshit they're on

I have a friend with Aspergers who would be quite offended by that comment. These people are just idiots, don't blame it on a diagnosis.

Dude can't even get a proper fitting suit or shirt. He looks like someone who had to borrow his outfit for court

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

T'fuck is this about?

As if thousands of others aren't? Forget about the thousand other red flags, why even post this bullcrap?
