This is a deep topic but let me try and summarize.

The key concept here is "transhumanism" [1]. This is a very popular belief among Silicon Valley CEOs. Followers have deluded themselves into thinking their genes are special and they think about what they can do to ensure this transhuman future. It usually means having as many children as possible a la Elon Musk.

Thing is, transhumanism is simply eugenics [2]. It's tech-flavored white supremacy [3].
