I continue to find it baffling that they believe so l human workers will be replaced by AI and that they want more kids. Like what will the human kids be needed for?
Ok, but why would anyone care about the human population declining to 0 in a world where all productive work is done by robots? What is the expanding number of people for?
Because human beings are good in and of themselves; they're ends, not means (this viewpoint isn't crazy, in moderation; it's just the way these buffoons apply it that's horrifying)
They insist that we must all work harder and "grind", that the future will have a tiny minority of capitalist super owners, that most people will be unemployed, and that they hate all forms of welfare (looking at pmarca and musk).
They haven't really thought it through and they don't care
A TFR at replacement rate means your population number doesn't change, there's no expanding. If you want a tiny technoaristocracy they still need to have ~2.1 kids on average just to continue existing

that's just a basic requirement for any ideological project regardless of how normal or batshit insane/evil it is, unless it's some suicide cult thing
