Then, if you train those babies to code Twitter bots under your personal brand, then you'd really be off to the races.

In this way, it is theoretically possible to generate biological offspring via automated twitter bots. #fullautomation

If social media audience is cultural capital w/ a monetary exchange rate, and $ = sex IRL, some # of twitter bots could earn you real sex.

Depending on the # of twitter followers that equal a baby IRL, I would consider buying a crib & putting in it a laptop running twitter bots.

How many twitter followers equal the social power of having one human being under your control IRL (a baby)?

If I could produce 10 babies, and train them all to run Twitter accounts under my brand, how many Twitter followers could they earn me?

Indifference curves assume a strict tradeoff, but consider if babies and/or followers are endogenous to the other.

I could chart the indifference curve wrt to number of IRL babies & # of twitter followers I would choose, but I'm too scared to.

But are Twitter followers partners or children? Idk. I feel I am doing it with them, but also to make more of them.

I am consciously writing on the internet as an act of love making. I type this tweet to reproduce & babies will immediately follow.

Of course this is Freud 101, sublimation, but it's something else entirely when writing starts to feel sexual.

Oh I know, it's terrible, I'm just sharing the reality of my drives, perhaps with some intention of exorcising them...https://twitter.com/Mr_Twister101/status/863005145948356608 …

I don't feel a drive to produce babies but I do feel a strong desire for the largest possible number of twitter follows.

I once thought my reproductive drive was weak. I now realize, rather, it is so strong that it never deigned to consider mere meat offspring.

I don't feel a strong drive to produce children but I'm definitely coming to see that my intellectual drive is essentially reproductive.
