    Still, the Collinses’ ideas about what will encourage people to have more babies are unconventional, even among other pronatalists.

    They dismiss solutions such as more housing or more money as “unrealistic.” And just because a policy is pro-family — universal day care, for example, or extended parental leave — doesn’t necessarily mean it will encourage people to have more children, they say.

    Instead, they’re pushing for deregulating the day-care industry (“We have data on this,” Malcolm said, sharing a Substack link) and removing car-seat mandates (another Substack link). Requiring parents to have car seats discourages people from having big families, because you can only fit in so many seats, he argued. “In a number of states, you need to be in a car seat until you’re, like, 16, right?”

      There have been multiple articles about these people in particular, they talk about having superior genes that need to be spread but both of them wear glasses, the woman is neuro divergent and they admit she needs a small team around her to be productive.

      I mean these ideas kind of check out. Raise child mortality rates, and people will have to have more to replace them. More births for the birth god!

        “Hæs we need to increase the birthrate”

        “did you try enacting pro-family policies.”

        “Oi did troi enacting pro-family policies”

        “only stupid people enact pro-family policies. you are stupid.”

        “I tried the stupid policies!”

        “you are a black man (who is very welcome in my totally colorblind pronatalist movement)”

        “This vexes me.”

        “The proportion, of elderly to working age people is increasingly increasing…”

        “That’s bad.”

        “We also have one of the highest child mortality rates of the global north, due to poor regulations and for-profit healthcare…”

        “We need a new mode of production. Also, I have not spoken in a while.”

        “no. new mode of production will destroy society. it needs child deaths to live.”

        “…I forbid this!”

        “don’t care. more child deaths!!”

        “Everything’s fixed, fertility is back to replacement level… thank you doctor!”

        “i am very smart.”

        “I too am in this episode.”

      I feel so bad for these children. I know there’s a good chance they’ll grow up to be freaks themselves, but still, talk about being dealt a bad hand
