Summary

Simone and Malcolm Collins, outspoken advocates of a “pronatalist” agenda, envision a model city-state focused on increasing birth rates and “genetically selected” citizens to counter demographic decline.

Simone, a candidate for Pennsylvania’s legislature, supports Trump, Elon Musk, and a conservative agenda with Silicon Valley backing. The couple’s controversial ideas include selective voting rights, targeting the “elites,” and embryo selection based on intelligence.

Despite their fringe positions, they seek to influence politics by mobilizing conservative voters, promoting family values, and experimenting with low-cost election tactics to sway swing districts.

The couple’s pronatalist foundation received significant funding from Estonian billionaire Jaan Tallinn. Child protective services (CPS) have visited the family twice following scrutiny over their parenting.

    lol those are the people, in the picture, those people are arguing for superior genetics? Wife is super unattractive, guy looks beta af, both parents have glasses. They are obviously not very smart. And Silicon Valley is backing this? Aside from VC douchebags and execs, Silicon Valley has a ton of immigrants, because we can’t be bothered to educate native born US children properly to do these jobs.

    Watched “Gattica” and “Aeon Flux” in the same night and said “wow babe, that looks like paradise!” This timeline has some really shitty parts in it, doesn’t it?
