X A-12。
The above string of symbols is not a meaningless piece of garbled code, but the name of Elon Musk's seventh child.
Cool
According to the child's fucking explanation, the name means: Unknown (X) + Love and Artificial Intelligence (, Genie language) + a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft (A-12).
Don't look at the strange name, Musk is very fond of this newborn, always posting his intimate photos on Twitter.
Not only that, but Musk said he also wanted an eighth child, preferably a girl.
And recently, this technology giant has declared that not only do I have to have more children alone, but couples all over the world have to have more children, otherwise, then the earth will be doomed!
Why did the technology giant Musk transform into a "fertility promotion ambassador"?
According to Musk's own ideas, having more children is the best way to save human civilization.
"Population collapse is probably the biggest risk to the future of human civilization." The billionaire wrote on Twitter.
In Musk's view, the reduction of newborns today means the reduction of the effective labor force in the future.
And without labor, even the greatest civilization project could not be realized—including the Mars colonization plan that the big man had been thinking about.
"Mars currently has zero inhabitants and is in urgent need of fresh population injection", however, "adult diapers now sell better than baby diapers".
On social media, Musk is worried.
And his concerns do have some truth, according to the medical journal The Lancet recently, in 2017, the global average fertility rate was only 2.4%. According to the trend, by 2100, the average fertility rate is likely to fall below 1.7%.
Therefore, in order to "save the building from the will fall", Musk has repeatedly said on the Internet that he will lead by example.
To date, he has a total of 8 children, except for the eldest son who died prematurely due to illness, the remaining 7 are the oldest 17 years old and the youngest is 1 year old.
Old horses must not only be born again, but also have to be raised personally and be a good father.
He often reveals some of his own unique parenting stories in interviews, such as not instilling gender stereotypes in children, and watching "Apocalypse of War" with young babies.
But many media reports, the above is actually just a show, privately, Musk does not like to raise children at all, he once said: Babies, is only eating and machine. ”
And, in education, the billionaire didn't do it himself at all, but handed them all over to a school called Ad Astra.
Founded by Musk himself, the school is one of the least mentioned and least known mystery educational institutions in his many "Changing the Future" projects.
According to some fragmented foreign media, we can only know roughly:
1. The school does not admit students, only the children of Musk and the children of SpaceX employees.
2. The school is supported by a teacher who used to run a "school for gifted children" in Beverly Hills, one of the most prestigious residential areas in the world.
3. In this school, learning knowledge only depends on ability, not age.
4. The subjects taught in the school are mainly science and engineering, such as artificial intelligence (AI), applied science, and programming.
It seems that this is a private college for the future elite, which is simply not within the reach of the kind of public schools that ordinary people can attend.
Therefore, in the eyes of many European and American netizens, Musk's statement of "having a child to save the world" is completely "standing and talking without waist pain", and using his own standard of over 100 million to demand all mankind.
Spoof answers
More importantly, musk's words are actually only half of what he said.
In a 2015 book called Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Better Future, he said the future was worth worrying about, not "fewer and fewer newborns," but "fewer and fewer smart newborns."
Therefore, conspiracy theorists believe that the real purpose behind Musk's multiple lives is actually a continuation of american "eugenicism".
In the past 100 years, the parenting idea of "continuing the family's high-quality genes and cultivating offspring by elites" has always been very popular in the elite upper echelons of the United States (especially the scientific and technological elites).
Like the famous scientific genius Nikola Tesla, in an interview with Liberty magazine in 1935, he said:
"By 2100, eugenics will be universally established ... Criminals and lunatics are already being sterilized in some places ,but it's not enough... Parents who do not meet the eugenic conditions should not be allowed to produce offspring ... A century later, a normal person would no longer think of marrying someone who was not suitable for eugenics, just as she would not want to marry a habitual offender. ”
The father of Silicon Valley, physicist William Schockley also hoped that the American Academy of Sciences could investigate the IQ levels of various ethnic groups in the country, citing the fear that if the iq level is too low, it will destroy the entire country if it has too many babies.
William Shoclair
Shockley even devised a "voluntary sterilization incentive program" in which the government gave $1,000 each to those with an IQ of less than 100 and actively opted for sterilization, in recognition of their "sacrifices" for the future of humanity.
Project Prevention is an American nonprofit that pays drug users cash for voluntary long-term birth control, including sterilization.
And Musk is not only known as "Silicon Valley Iron Man", the car produced by his company is called "Tesla", but also rumored to have an unclear relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who died mysteriously two years ago.
And Epstein is the craziest spokesperson for eugenics.
According to the New York Times, one of the biggest dreams of this "rich adulterer" in his lifetime was to realize the "human ranch" plan.
That is, dozens of "good quality" women were abducted into his large ranch in New Mexico, so that they all conceived and gave birth to his children, completing what he called "the inheritance of human quality genes."
Here it is
Epstein even considered freezing his brain and reproductive organs so that he could continue to reproduce when future technology matured.
After his death, 130 people worldwide identified themselves as his illegitimate children.
In a sense, the evil investor really responded to Musk's call for "more children".
Because of this, conspiracy theorists believe that although Musk ostensibly said " I have children for the future of mankind " , behind the scenes , he actually wanted to be "Epstein II" and wanted to achieve some ulterior motive by increasing and optimizing his offspring.
But in fact, the reason Why Musk has so many children may be just because he can.
If you look at the problem of childbearing from the perspective of income, I believe that the vast majority of people have heard the saying that "the poor have more children, and the rich have fewer children".
After all, if the birth of a baby is seen as an investment in the future of the family, then for poorer families, rather than pursuing the quality of a child, it is better to ensure the number of the next generation.
In the vernacular, it is "in case which doll will be out in the future".
As a result, the fertility rates of the three Nordic countries this year are still much lower than those of Niger and Angola in Africa, and the number of extended families in the slums of Brooklyn is much higher than that of the middle class on Long Island.
Fertility comparison
However, the "rich" in the phrase "the poor have more children, the rich have fewer children" does not actually include all the rich people.
According to a recent GoCompare survey, only 9% of billionaires in Europe and the United States have only one baby, while 21% have more than 5 children.
Coincidentally, in 2008, the editor-in-chief of The New York Times also said in an interview that the number of families with more than three children has increased significantly over the past decade in the 1.3 percent of households with the highest incomes in the United States.
Yes, it's not just the poor who have more children, but also the richest of the richest.
And the reason for this is also very easy to understand:
When assets accumulate to a certain extent, many of the fertility problems that plague the middle class will be solved.
For example, the website QUARTZ said in the report that for many middle-class women with successful careers, having a baby will delay their promotion and will allow them to spend a lot of time to take care of their newborns.
And all of the above is not a problem at all for those who hire people to watch the dolls in the giants and do not have to worry about their own careers at all.
It can be said that if for a poor family, more children means more possibilities, then for a rich family, more children means more bragging rights.
Bezos family
In a wealthy area like New York, where four or five children can be raised, it proves that the parents of this family have deep pockets.
In the book Primates of Park Avenue: A Memior, it is written that Mrs. Broad on Manhattan's Upper East Side wears rings with the initials of their children's names written on them. The greater the number of rings, the richer the wife's family.
Matched with this fertility comparison are baby products from luxury brands like Prada and Gucci, where a diaper bag can sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
And when parenting is capitalized, then the ethical bottom line begins to be continuously impacted.
Rich people not only want to have more children, but also to live according to their own wishes.
For example, fertility research institutes in California often receive calls from wealthy people asking if they can choose the color of their next baby's pupils.
The wealthy chose it because the institute, like its peers, runs a sex-selected newborn business, starting at $2,000.
Gender selection
Of course, compared with surrogacy, the above is still a small meaning.
Once the birth is no longer conceived by the mother for 10 months, but "borrows her body and gives birth to herself", then the act of production has the possibility of "industrialization" and "assembly line".
So, in Asia, The Son of a Japanese Chaebol, Mitsushi Shigeta, came up with a "Thousand Sons Project" to use Thailand's surrogacy to legalize the boundaries and create 1,000 of his own offspring.
·9/1000
In Europe, there is the reproduction concept of the Russian hotel rich man and his wife "having 100 children".
The idea, which cost £800,000 overall, has now created 22 surrogates, who are cared for around the clock by 16 nannies.
Compared with the above cases, Musk is a little too conservative on the issue of fertility.
Therefore, the fact that rich people have more children has little to do with conspiracy theories, nor is eugenics doing it, in the final analysis, it is just a terrible appearance that is infinitely inflated after the combination of the instinct in the bones of the living body and the monster of capital.
This is reminiscent of the novel called "Holy Libra Star".
In the novel, with genetic modification and cloning techniques, a guy named Kane North makes his cloned descendants spread throughout the universe.
In the vast star realm, the North family is the head of the big consortium, and in the eyes of others, the surname North represents the magnate, money and power.
The story of The Holy Libra begins in 2143, a century later.
But for us now, the world manipulated by blood rather than individuals seems to be not just a novel fantasy, but a terrible future that we may usher in.
