Last sentence doesn't make sense if this is what OP meant. "Once your maintenance drops, running a tiny surplus of just 100 ..." You don't need to drop your maintenance calories, with or without GLPs, to gain weight as you eat at a surplus.

Your maintenance calories would rise as you gained weight. I don't think you're getting 20kg out of a fixed +100. I'm suspicious of a lot of your claims, but this really jumped out.

"I feel good about the vision, because it builds towards a more human future" I wonder if the author truly believes this. I could maybe buy some sort of inevitability argument, but this current framing is very hard to take seriously.

I have no idea where Scranton is. Maybe use Tokyo or something.

This routinely happens for professional athletes. Don't have any stats, but American professional athletes seem well known for having many children (with many people).

Is this supposed to be one of those Twitter style "clapbacks"? What a terrible look.
