Out of all the nuttiness of their Wikipedia page, that one stood out to me.

The conceit and egotism of these people is laughable.
Is a complete lack of self awareness heritable? Are they going to breed a race of super clueless whities with bad eyesight?
elite but still need glasses huh?
I’m pretty 1337, but can’t see shit without my glasses.
That e-1337, not elite.

Looks like they both might be genetically predisposed to myopia. Not very elite of them.
Glasses make me look weak. They're like a wheelchair for the eyes.
I always was on the "nerd" side at school but boy do those faces look punchable.

Well that's just a fucking trip of dysfunction.
Just that bit is a lot.
If the population declined and it makes the economy do less well, won't people just have more children like they did the last time the economy was in that state? Every environment has a carrying capacity for the creatures that live in it. It's not uncommon to see fluctuations above and below that equilibrium point.
Instead of pushing people to ignore the factors that cause the limit in humans, like not wanting or needing more children, maybe find a way to organize society so hitting that limit doesn't cause massive problems, or try to eliminate some of the factors creating the limit. It's insanely difficult in our society to have even one child who's healthy, cared for, and prepared for their adult life while also being personally healthy, prepared for old age, and enjoying the variety of pleasures of existence.

So redditors who deeply believe they're superior are breeding? We're in trouble.
I just read their wiki page and it is absolutely filled to the brim with crazy wacky shit.
The Collinses do not support transgender health care for youth, but express acceptance for people whom Simone described as "legit trans" as opposed to those who fall into the "trans cult." Simone opposes allowing transgender students to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity and to play on sports teams matching their gender identity.
As a trans woman, this stood out to me. I'm not surprised that they are transphobic, but why make the point about "legit trans" and "trans cult?" I assume they consider "legit trans" to be the tiny percentage of transgender people who are right-wing nuts and the "trans cult" are those who aren't. Basically they're just saying "We only support transgender people who want their faces eaten" which is a strange way of phrasing it since usually transphobes tell all of us to go fuck ourselves, including the dumb ones that support the leopards.
It's probably more like they can't deny the reality of trans people, but they think that it's a very tiny minority and the rest are just cultists.
You see this same fallacy with autism. Why are there "suddenly" more autistic kids? It isn't because vaccines are giving them autism or something like that. It's because doctors know what to look for to diagnose now.
People fall into this same trap with trans people, because 20 years ago it was extremely rare to meet an out trans person. So, now it looks like they're suddenly everywhere! What could be the cause? A trans cult recruiting people?!
No, it's a cultural shift. Damn, people can be stupid sometimes.

Having worked in public policy for several years, the 26-year-old Londoner had come to an alarming realisation about the future of the UK, the world – and the human species.
She's 26?
What is "several" defined as here? 2? 3?
That reminds me of when my 5 year old nephew started telling me a story by going, "Back when I was a little boy..."
You seem to have the same problem I do. 🤭 it turns out several is kind of a fucking useless term, meaning more than two but fewer than many in number or kind. So...it's defined by a bunch of nonsense-fluff numbers.
Several cannot mean two...but several can be 3. My sister called me to deal with "several" whatevers, I came over & there were 3 whatevers (can't remember what it was), and I was like what the hell, sister, you said several & looked it up. Several sounds like 7, but it can mean 3 to idk, 9. It's stupid.
For 3, most people would describe that quantity as "a few".
Maybe it's like 1.05 years, but that round up
It appears she was 26 when Malcolm proposed on reddit in 2013. She was born 1987, and he 1986.
No, I think that's talking about Aria Babu, a person from London who's changed the focus of her career to become a "pronatalist". The woman in the photos is Simone Collins, and I haven't read about her age. I'm usually the kind that reads the whole articles on links but I could only bring myself to skim through this lunacy.

This couple and really anyone who learned about evolution by watching Idiocracy: if intelligent parents are needed to make intelligent babies, from where did intelligence first arise?
Two fishes fucked and made a deformed fish that liked air more than water. And now I have to "clean the garage" and "not eat all the cheese its". Fucking ass hole parent fish.
Some motherfucker planted and watered some seeds and now I have to pay taxes. Fuck that guy.

Do fish fuck? I thought the one laid the eggs and the other spooged on them.
Besides sharks like the other commenter said, there's a type of fish called "livebearers" who do indeed fuck and internally inseminate
They give birth to fully formed babies vs laying eggs and fertilizing them externally. A fascinating animal that falls in the category is the Amazon molly which gives birth to clones of itself

Those inverted commas around 'elite' are doing so much work they should probably unionise.
And two more incestuous generations later you end with something like Elon Musk.
