to wrap up the network state stuff.

So, you know, a lot, a lot is sort of sad about this being their own state, which it absolutely is.

It leads to that.

But once you add up these, these pieces of them having land and them having cities and then their racism.

So they think that they're better than everyone.

And they're like misogyny and like, yeah,

their wealth and them being sort of in their own kind of category, which also has all of the different sort of pieces of civilization.

Like out of that, they derive both an identity and like a drive for civilization building.

And so one thing that people talk about a lot is

is eugenics and like eugenics beliefs sort of in the tech class.

But we are so far beyond that and into an actual eugenics project where venture capitalists are encouraging the tech class to create more and more babies.

They are creating a dizzying number of fertility startups, IVF, genetic screening, you know, engineering of the genome, like all of these different areas.

And they see Israel as the example of that because

The Israeli fertility rate is really high, despite it being a technocratic.

This is their words, not mine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just to be clear, this is what they say.

They say Israel is aspirational because it's a technocratic state where they have a really high birth rate.

and that that is what they want to emulate through the network state.
