That's kinda f-ed up. I'd understand doing it once, because he wanted at least one boy, but 12 kids and all chosen to be boys? Why?
- bloopernova 2y agoEspecially since he seems to ignore those children except the one he drags around with him. Maybe he has some dream about being a patriarch of a giant family. Actually, considering his "pay someone else to play video games" actions, it makes sense that he's paying others to raise his kids. He seems to want the appearance but none of the work behind it.

While scientists have explored the thought experiment to improve understanding of the universe, he took all the wrong lessons from it and considers everyone else an NPC. So to me it makes complete sense that an idiot like him would use his money and power to make as many boys as possible in that way.
- disqard 2y agoYou might be familiar with deBord's "Society of the Spectacle". He observed that all societies evolve from "Being" to "Having" and ultimately devolve into "The Appearance of Having". It explains a lot of what we see with the rise of Twitter, TikTok, influencers, etc.
