an interview with a rich person trying hard to be relatable · 1 min read
GEBS: People online are saying this is "eugenics with a shopping cart."
Them: That's reductive. I like to think of it as wellness, but for your bloodline. Everyone's optimizing something — sleep, gut health, their kid's test scores before the kid exists. I'm just early.
GEBS: Doesn't the price point concern you?
Them: (laughs) No. Should it concern you?
GEBS: I don't have $9.99 a month to spare, honestly.
Them: See, that's the disconnect. This isn't a luxury, it's a floor. Everyone should have access to a genetically optimized child. I'm just, historically, one of the first people who's had access to most things.
GEBS: Anything you'd say to critics?
Them: Only that it's very brave of them to have opinions about a service they can't afford.
