I maintain that anyone dumb enough to sleep with Elon probably shouldn't be working on brain implants.
It's sort of guaranteed nest egg.
They might not have slept with him.
The last one to make the news rounds he was just a sperm donor. I think that was also at Neuralink.
Even his affairs are artificial inseminations. He and his father believe in the whole "we need to breed back the white race with good stock" and so he's all about having plenty of kids that he has nothing to do with
"with good stock"
The guy has Asperger syndrome, from the get go he's not the pinnacle of human genetics...
Eugenics in is the garbage heap of history for this kind of thinking. Evolution is never 'done' and there are no perfect people, there is no ubermench, no Superman, and no Pinnnacle of human genetics, you could be born cut and discovering new fields of math and science by 8, then die of a congenital heart defect at 26. You can live 110 years fully functional and never develop past the intellectual benchmarks of a 7 year old. There's no perfect. No one's genes are 'good' or 'bad' only more typical or less typical, and typical can be a lot better than less typical in some categories, much worse in others. One of my kids started talking at 6mon. Like full on sentences. She developed very early. So it's she a genius? She's very smart, she hits all her benchmarks at school. But no, she's not moving up in grades or anything, early development isn't superior development, that's a big misconception. What you think a perfect human is won't match what others think. The more you learn about human biology, the more your going to learn that the statics can't be boiled down to RPG stats. It's millions of factors and what is good or best is entirely subjective.
WTF is that supposed to mean? First of all Asperger's is named after a literal Nazi, we don't call it that anymore. Second of all, plenty of autistic people have kids and relationships and are very happy. This comes off ableist as fuck
No disrespect intended, nor drama
What's the name of it now?
^^^^ this
I never thought I'd have to ponder the question of whether it is an affair to be a sperm donor if you conceal it from your partner.
It's definitely not the right thing to do either way.
Probably not. Affairs deal with emotional or sexual relationships. Donating sperm precludes any relationship with the recipient in all but the most personal of situations. I.e. you donate your sperm to a friend.
And in donations you don't retain parenthood rights I believe. So it's a question of who gets to control your body and the answer is only you.
It really depends on the situation some couples want the doner more involved like a godfather, or uncle. Some want it illegal for the kid to ever talk to you or meet you even if you someday decide you want to. I know s couple that brokered their situation threw a third party so the doner wouldn't even know anything about them.
Getting pregnant is a brain implant ;-)
Maybe that's why they are working on brain implants
