      True, and having large amounts of heirs with no skills or education needs a term like “inheritance imbreeding” since they will end up diluting the wealth-gene pool until they are left with nothing and hopefully go extinct after all the wealth has been absorbed into the general population. Or more likely, absorbed by a grifter.

      These people think wealth is generic, which is why it’s imperative to have as many kids as possible so they too can collect all the money and do a better effective Altruism at some point in the future. They’re devour followers of that Big Yud school of thought
