Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The thing with IVF is that it's already incredibly weirdly eugenicist.

Like, read some of the parameters they'd screen you for if you wanted to donate sperm. You get bonus points for having a PhD? I'm sorry? You're looking for a better-educated sperm?

And when you apply for IVF and choose a donor you get their education and job. "I want my cum to be a pilot!" The fuck.

Lamarckian eugenics!

@V0ldek @sue_me_please

IVF isn’t required if fertility concerns or frozen eggs aren’t involved, they can give you the home game.

A fertility doctor here in Sweden took sperm from men who were undergoing investigations for infertiliy and used it as donor sperm.

Imagine their surprise when decades later they found out they had kids.

Not sure why he chose those particular samples, maybe all he had available.
