I don't have a source for it but I remember seeing things about Assange being obsessed with impregnating women (hence the circumstances of his rapes) and I keep thinking about that when I read about Epstein's "breeding plan".

If you're a white supremacist who also loves pseudoscience and isn't particularly attached to the idea of a traditional family, I guess this is the sort of thing that makes sense to you.

I suppose lobster-level evo psych tells you that it's the natural and manly thing to do.

And I guess to follow this rabbit all the way down the hole... the manosphere effectively teaches that relationships including traditional marriage only happen because women gatekeep for sex and society punishes men for having children outside marriage.

"Men are the gatekeepers of relationships and women are the gatekeepers of sex." is something that makes sense to these people; in their mind, a family is what happens when a woman trades sex for a relationship.

If you thought you were some kind of superior ubermensch mastermind who could impregnate a large number of women without getting trapped in a relationship or punished by society... it would basically be your evolutionary imperative to do so, under their philosophy.

Ann Lamott said, "You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."

There's a similar observation to be made, when you find "science" justifies your own biases and your worst impulses.

We can reduce all these evolutionary psych arguments down to "I want to do this. If doing this wasn't good, I wouldn't want to do this. Therefore, I must do this."
