    Just give it some time, anyone with power becomes a Nazi. Just ask the Stanford Prison Experiment folks.

    The SPE is a bad, almost unscientific example for nearly anything.

    In 2007, Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland argued that the experiment suffers from selection bias, as the recruiting posters for SPE specifically advertised participation in a study about prison life. Carnahan and McFarland argued that those who applied to participate with the SPE thus likely already had traits associated with abusiveness, aggression, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, social dominance orientation, and narcissism. Further, low dispositional empathy and altruism would also be indicators of someone who would volunteer.

    In 2020, Dutch historian Rutger Bregman claimed the experiment to be dubious. He states that the guards were urged to act aggressively towards the prisoners. In his book Humankind: A Hopeful History, he is of the opinion that in similar experiments, researchers intentionally created hostility between groups and then interpreted the findings to suit their needs.

    "And as a bonus for this past year's excellent work, you shall receive: a sample of my sperm"

    Is anyone else reminded of Pierce's will from Community season 5?

    This is a very old story, but I didnt know she was also an OpenAI board member. When the story broke it was about her being a Neuralink exec.

    This isnt the only women he's donated sperm to either.

    I wonder if at some point he ever read about how 1 in 7 (or whatever) humans are descended from Ghengis Khan.

    I know he says all kinds of wacko stuff about fertility rates and population collapse, but when have his motivations ever been even that bit more complex than wanting to imitate/join the cool/funny thing he found online? I seriously wonder...

    Elon is quite crazy. But objectively if you wanted children and are capable of taking care of them in your own, then elon is the golden goose. In terms of intelligence you could do worse, especially if he offered, which is probably because you are and intelligent and accomplished white woman. Good chances for genetically great offspring. Which is what white supremacists are going for. And then there is a shitload of money your children will be literally taken care of completely. Ghengis Khan didn't have hundreds of children for no reason.

    I mostly agree finically. However, I am not sold on Elon’s “genus”. Also, you would be stoking his already over-inflated ego.

    Im not saying he is a genius. Im saying he is still probably top ten percent in terms of intelligence just because he is an engineer.

    He’s not an engineer. Nor is there much evidence of being particularly intelligent. He’s great at social engineering though and is able to create an elite ‘reality distortion field’ that’s second to none, but he’s not smart in the way that he pretends.

    He’s the world’s most successful poser.
