an idea about Elon Musk announcing a plan to fund 100 women/year to have his children through sperm banks, in 10 generations (1 generation/year), with fully paid support and tutoring for life for the kids, and regularly schedule reunions of generations / the whole group.

It was at attempt to re-introduce cloning style massively parallel reproduction to the human species.

That was what I thought this story would be about.

Seriously though, don't you think Snowden could get a few hundred extremely smart, civil libertarian women to agree to bear his children?

Huh?

Before we start indulging in fantasies of tech folks begatting like in the Bible and creating a master IT race, could we care about the kids that people already created first?

The kids on the planet already have plenty of potential, we really don't need to keep pumping them out.

Excellence does not transmit well over reproduction.
