Why Pronatalists Should Support the D.I.N.K. Lifestyle
We explain why the childfree/DINK (dual income, no kids) lifestyle is not something the pronatalist community should oppose. If people do not wish to have children, they likely would make poor parents and passing on those genes is not productive. We also highlight how the animosity towards DINKs often stems from jealousy, not concern for civilization. Ultimately, voluntary sterilization of those not fit to parent strengthens society long-term.
[00:00:00] We're Dinks. We can go to Florida on a whim. We're Dinks. We're already planning our European vacation next year. Dinks. We get a full eight hours of sleep and sometimes more.
We're Dinks. We get desserts and appetizers at restaurants. We're Dinks
Simone Collins: the response that pronatalist communities or even just like broadly conservative people have to them is just totally wrong.
These are people who really, really, really, really should not be having kids.
Malcolm Collins: We mean this both from a genetic reason.
Like, as we've talked about, like a dink is obviously more likely to be narcissistic, less likely to want to get back to society, et cetera. But in addition to that, they're not going to be good parents.
Would you like to know more?
Simone Collins: I just hit record. So we're set. Let's make sure you're looking gorgeous. I love it when you have a little flippy do on your forehead of hair. It's
Malcolm Collins: just really I wanted to see. So we will, I love my wife and I am excited to be here with you today. Because we are going to talk about a subject. that I didn't really know about. Apparently there was some meme around this because a bunch of [00:01:00] people got mad at people on the internet about this, because people on the internet love to get mad and judge other people.
But it is the phenomenon of dinks. And it's a dual income, no kids. No kids. So these are couples, no kids. And I think a lot of people they look at us, you know, the ISTs and they're like, oh, you're fighting the dinks. Right? And it's like, not really . And we'll, we'll get to this actually. You said at the prenatal list conference, somebody came up, right?
Mm-Hmm. . And they were like, well you guys as ISTs, you know, what are your views on and how are you going to fight the use of condoms? You know, like in other contraceptive drivers,
Simone Collins: right. . And they also ask you this, like on the spot in front of a large audience of people.
Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, I said something along the lines of, look, I do not want kids being born because they were born accidentally.
That is not
Simone Collins: a victory. Seriously, or to people who don't want them. Come on guys.
Malcolm Collins: How is that a good thing that we are basically [00:02:00] forcing you know, people who don't want kids to have children with people who they did not intend to have children with? Talk about cruelty.
Simone Collins: What to the
Malcolm Collins: kids, you know, she's just like, come on.
Yeah. And this is, this is very much around dinks, you know, if somebody doesn't want kids, like that is not our job. We
Simone Collins: also like, we don't want them to have kids. Our job is to protect. They're right to not have kids. Cause if we care about
Malcolm Collins: kids from them, exactly, exactly, let's, let's talk about dinks more broadly.
So, we'll do the little video of the dinks here. So you can see
We're Dinks. We go to Trader Joe's and workout classes on the weekends. We're Dinks. We get into snobby hobbies like skiing and golfing. We're Dinks. We can go to Florida on a whim. We're Dinks. We're already planning our European vacation next year.
