Gaby Del Valle at Politico Magazine:

The threat, we are told here this weekend, is existential, biological, epoch-defining. Economies will fail, civilizations will fall, and it will all happen because people aren’t having enough babies.

“The entire global financial system, the value of your money, and every asset you might buy with money is defined by leverage, which means its value depends on growth,” Kevin Dolan, a 37-year-old father of six from Virginia, tells the crowd that has gathered to hear him speak. “Every country in the developed world and most countries in the developing world face long-term population decline at a level that makes growth impossible to maintain,” Dolan says, “which means we are sitting on the bubble of all bubbles.” Despite this grim prognosis, the mood is optimistic. It’s early December, a few weeks before Christmas, and the hundred-odd people who have flocked to Austin for the first Natal Conference are here to come up with solutions. Though relatively small, as conferences go, NatalCon has attracted attendees who are almost intensely dedicated to the cause of raising the U.S. birth rate. The broader natalist movement has been gaining momentum lately in conservative circles — where anxieties over falling birth rates have converged with fears of rising immigration — and counts Elon Musk, who has nearly a dozen children, and Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán among its proponents. Natalism is often about more than raising birth rates, though that is certainly one of its aims; for many in the room, the ultimate goal is a total social overhaul, a culture in which child-rearing is paramount.

NatalCon’s emphasis on childbirth notwithstanding, there are very few women in the cavernous conference room of the LINE Hotel. The mostly male audience includes people of all ages, many of whom are childless themselves. Some of the women in attendance, however, have come to Austin with their children in tow — a visual representation of the desired outcome of this weekend. As if to emphasize the reason we’re all gathered here today, a baby babbles in the background while Dolan delivers his opening remarks.

Broadly speaking, the people who have paid as much as $1,000 to attend the conference are members of the New Right, a conglomeration of people in the populist wing of the conservative movement who believe we need seismic changes to the way we live now — and who often see the past as the best model for the future they’d like to build. Their ideology, such as it exists, is far from cohesive, and factions of the New Right are frequently in disagreement. But this weekend, these roughly aligned groups, from the libertarian-adjacent tech types to the Heritage Foundation staffers, along with some who likely have no connection with traditionally conservative or far-right causes at all, have found a unifying cause in natalism. At first glance, this conference might look like something new: A case for having kids that is rooted in a critique of the market-driven forces that shape our lives and the shifts that have made our culture less family-oriented. As Dolan later tells me in an email, declining birth rates are primarily the fault of “default middle-class ‘life path’ offered by our educational system and corporate employers,” which Dolan says is “in obvious competition with starting a family.” These systems, he believes, have created a consumer-driven, hedonistic society that requires its members to be slavishly devoted to their office jobs, often at the expense of starting a family.

But over the course of the conference, the seemingly novel arguments for having children fade and give way to a different set of concerns. Throughout the day, speakers and participants hint at the other aspects of modern life that worried them about future generations in the U.S. and other parts of the West: divorce, gender integration, “wokeness,” declining genetic “quality.” Many of the speakers and attendees see natalism as a way of reversing these changes. As the speakers chart their roadmaps for raising birth rates, it becomes evident that for the most dedicated of them, the mission is to build an army of like-minded people, starting with their own children, who will reject a whole host of changes wrought by liberal democracy and who, perhaps one day, will amount to a population large enough to effect more lasting change. This conference suggests there’s a simple way around the problem of majority rule: breeding a new majority — one that looks and sounds just like them.

In recent years, various factions of the old and the new right have coalesced around the idea that babies might be the cure for everything that’s wrong with society, in the United States and other parts of the developed West. It’s not a new argument. Natalists made similar claims in the early 20th century, when urbanization drove birth rates down and European immigration kept the U.S. population afloat. Then, too, people attributed the drop in fertility rates to endemic selfishness among young people.

Throughout it all, some religious conservative cultures have continued to see raising large broods as a divine mandate. White supremacists, meanwhile, have framed their project as a way of ensuring “a future for white children,” as declared by David Lane, a founding member of the white nationalist group The Order. More recently, natalist thinking has emerged among tech types interested in funding and using experimental reproductive technologies, and conservatives concerned about falling fertility rates and what they might mean for the future labor force of the United States and elsewhere in the developed world. The conservative think tanks the Center for Renewing America and the Heritage Foundation — the latter of which was represented at NatalCon — have proposed policies for a potential second Trump administration that would promote having children and raising them in nuclear families, including limiting access to contraceptives, banning no-fault divorce and ending policies that subsidize “single-motherhood.”

[...]

The speakers who lay out this bleak state of affairs are a motley crew of the extremely online right, many of whom go by their X (the website formerly called Twitter) handles rather than their names. Via Zoom, anonymous Twitter user Raw Egg Nationalist warns us about endocrine disruptors in everything from perfume to bottled water. Ben Braddock, an editor at the conservative magazine IM-1776, claims that antidepressants and birth control pills have permanent, detrimental effects on women’s fertility. Together, the speakers paint a dire picture of a society that has lost its way, abandoning fundamental biological truths and dooming itself to annihilation in the process. The solution, of course, is to have more babies. Peachy Keenan, a pseudonymous writer affiliated with the conservative Claremont Institute, urges attendees to “seize the means of reproduction” — as in, to out-breed liberals, who are already hobbling their movement by choosing to have just a couple children, or none at all. “We can use their visceral hatred of big families to our advantage,” Keenan says. “The other side is not reproducing; the anti-natalists are sterilizing themselves.”

Here lies the project, spelled out in detail: The people who disagree have bloodlines that are slowly going to die out. To speed up that process — to have this particular strain of conservative natalist ideology become dominant quickly in the United States — everyone in this room has to have more kids, and fast. But it’s only when the speakers get to who should have babies and how they should raise them that their deeper concerns, and the larger anxieties behind this conference, become clear. The goal, as put by Indian Bronson, the pseudonymous co-founder of the elite matchmaking service Keeper, is “more, better people.” But the speakers lack consensus on the meaning of the word “better,” as they do on the subject of using technology to encourage the best and brightest among us to breed.

Keenan, who has previously celebrated her sense that it is now acceptable to say “white genocide is real,” says better means conservative. Pat Fagan, the director of the Marriage and Religion Institute at the Catholic University of America, says good children are the product of stable, two-parent Christian households, away from the corrupting influences of public school and sex ed. (Christian couples, he adds, have “the best, most orgasmic sex,” citing no research or surveys to support this.) To protect these households, we must abolish no-fault divorce, declares Brit Benjamin, a lawyer with waist-length curly red hair. (Until relatively recently, Benjamin was married to Patri Friedman — grandson of economist Milton Friedman — the founder of the Seasteading Institute, a Peter Thiel-backed effort to build new libertarian enclaves at sea.) And to ensure that these children grow up to be adults who understand their proper place in both the family and the larger social order, we need to oust women from the workforce and reinstitute male-only spaces “where women are disadvantaged as a result,” shampoo magnate and aspiring warlord Charles Haywood says, prompting cheers from the men in the audience.

The far-right natalist movement's goals are to cause a population explosion of people who think like them.

Despite this grim prognosis, the mood is optimistic. It’s early December, a few weeks before Christmas, and the hundred-odd people who have flocked to Austin for the first Natal Conference are here to come up with solutions. Though relatively small, as conferences go, NatalCon has attracted attendees who are almost intensely dedicated to the cause of raising the U.S. birth rate. The broader natalist movement has been gaining momentum lately in conservative circles — where anxieties over falling birth rates have converged with fears of rising immigration — and counts Elon Musk, who has nearly a dozen children, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán among its proponents. Natalism is often about more than raising birth rates, though that is certainly one of its aims; for many in the room, the ultimate goal is a total social overhaul, a culture in which child-rearing is paramount.

Many of the speakers and attendees see natalism as a way of reversing these changes. As the speakers chart their roadmaps for raising birth rates, it becomes evident that for the most dedicated of them, the mission is to build an army of like-minded people, starting with their own children, who will reject a whole host of changes wrought by liberal democracy and who, perhaps one day, will amount to a population large enough to effect more lasting change.

This conference suggests there’s a simple way around the problem of majority rule: breeding a new majority — one that looks and sounds just like them.

It’s not a new argument. Natalists made similar claims in the early 20th century, when urbanization drove birth rates down and European immigration kept the U.S. population afloat. Then, too, people attributed the drop in fertility rates to endemic selfishness among young people.

More recently, natalist thinking has emerged among tech types interested in funding and using experimental reproductive technologies, and conservatives concerned about falling fertility rates and what they might mean for the future labor force of the United States and elsewhere in the developed world. The conservative think tanks the Center for Renewing America and the Heritage Foundation — the latter of which was represented at NatalCon — have proposed policies for a potential second Trump administration that would promote having children and raising them in nuclear families, including limiting access to contraceptives, banning no-fault divorce and ending policies that subsidize “single-motherhood.”

Though Dolan opens the conference by talking about the potential economic consequences of a global birth dearth, he and the other NatalCon speakers aren’t primarily concerned with the utilitarian arguments for raising birth rates. “I’m not trying to have grandkids so they can fund Medicare,” Dolan says. “We’re here because we agree that people are beautiful, that life is beautiful, and that it should go on.”

Dolan, a conservative Mormon and a former Booz Allen Hamilton data scientist, resigned from his job in 2021 after a group of self-proclaimed anti-fascist Mormon activists exposed his anonymous Twitter account, which tied him to the far-right Deseret Nationalist movement. Having lost his livelihood and security clearance, Dolan started the EXIT Group, a “fraternity of like-minded men” who are preparing for the supposed collapse of American society — and who, as of recently, have taken on the decline in birth rates as their pet cause.

youtube

On his podcast, Dolan says he was first alerted to the problem of demographic collapse by a member of the EXIT Group, which claims to have 171 members. Dolan came up with the idea for NatalCon after watching “The End of Men,” Tucker Carlson’s documentary about “collapsing testosterone levels” in the West. The global drop in sperm concentrations has indeed puzzled scientists for decades and is believed to be one of the factors that has contributed to the global downturn in birth rates. But NatalCon’s organizers and attendees seem more interested in combating social institutions — like corporate employment and the educational system set up to support it — that, in Dolan’s words, have suppressed fertility by being “hostile to life.”

Most of the first day of the conference is spent defining the problem. In a nutshell: Sperm counts are historically low. Our bodies are full of microplastics. Public schools are indoctrinating children against the good Christian values with which they were raised. Dating apps have gamified romance, tricking lonely singles into believing that a better prospect is always around the corner. Women have been convinced that they can have it all — kids and a career and endless vacations and so much more — only to end up unhappy, infertile and alone.

The solution, of course, is to have more babies. Peachy Keenan, a pseudonymous writer affiliated with the conservative Claremont Institute, urges attendees to “seize the means of reproduction” — as in, to out-breed liberals, who are already hobbling their movement by choosing to have just a couple children, or none at all. “We can use their visceral hatred of big families to our advantage,” Keenan says. “The other side is not reproducing; the anti-natalists are sterilizing themselves.”

But it’s only when the speakers get to who should have babies and how they should raise them that their deeper concerns, and the larger anxieties behind this conference, become clear.

The goal, as put by Indian Bronson, the pseudonymous co-founder of the elite matchmaking service Keeper, is “more, better people.”

But the speakers lack consensus on the meaning of the word “better,” as they do on the subject of using technology to encourage the best and brightest among us to breed.

Haywood’s final words to the audience elicit raucous applause: “The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its progeny are probably the single most destructive set of laws in American history, and all should be wiped forever,” he says before getting off stage. (A few women told me afterward they and others disagreed with Haywood.)

Notably, most of the speakers do not make a case for more immigration to counter the trend of declining birth rates. Immigrants can’t solve our population problem, Dolan says, because they’ll eventually realize they were brought here to pay into Social Security for old white people. (On X, Dolan has used the word “replacement” to refer to immigration.)

Some at the conference are interested in the genetics of the children they believe everyone should be having. Evolutionary biologist Diana Fleischman and writer Jonathan Anomaly argue that genetics are destiny. (“I shouldn’t say Good quality children,” Fleischman says after speaking at length about how people with mental illness are statistically likely to marry other mentally ill people and pass those genes along to their children, suggesting some children are indeed biologically better than others.)

Razib Khan — a geneticist and science blogger who in 2015 was hired and quickly fired by the New York Times opinion section after Gawker reported on his ties to racist far-right publications — illustrates the problem of current demographic trends in the West compared to other regions by pointing to Ethiopia, which had nearly as many births in 2020 as the entire European continent. “This is the future we’re already in,” says Khan, who is Bangladeshi-American. “Many of you have young children. … They will live to see this world.”

Over and over throughout the conference, anxieties over the drop in birth rates — the issue that brought the speakers and audience together — gave way to fears that certain populations were out-breeding their betters. Though few speakers explicitly mentioned race, the conference provided an opportunity for those with genuine concerns about population decline to join forces with, and perhaps be influenced by, those who espouse racist or regressive views. During the second day of the conference — a closed-door, phone-off event dedicated to brainstorming ways to reverse the population crisis — VIP ticket holders mingled with Jared Taylor, the publisher of the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance, according to multiple people in attendance who wanted to remain anonymous because having their name linked to the conference would jeopardize their work.

The following day, I talk with Malcolm and Simone Collins, the husband-and-wife founder of Pronatalist.org who went viral in 2023 after the Telegraph dubbed them the “elite couple breeding to save mankind.” They are entrepreneurs and investors and previously served as co-CEOs of a travel agency company; Simone is also currently running for a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

The Collinses tell me they want to promote a plurality of cultures and protect everyone’s right to be “weird.” Malcolm says they want to make their movement a “big tent” and were initially worried about what kinds of people the conference would attract. “Are they going to be like, ‘[No] transgender people reading kids books?’ Are they going to be racist nut jobs? It’s a real concern,” he says.

The Collinses — parents of four children — present themselves as rationalists, techies trying to solve the looming depopulation crisis by any means necessary. (Simone was pregnant with the fourth child during the conference. That baby, Industry Americus Collins, was born in April.) With their third and fourth children, the Collinses used a preimplantation genetic test that allowed them to select an embryo with optimum genetic makeup.

But they, too, are far more interested in the cultural implications of declining fertility rates than their fascination with reproductive technologies might lead you to believe. The couple is committed to fighting the “urban monoculture” that they claim has tricked a generation of young Americans into spending their most fertile years chasing professional achievements and personal fulfillment at the expense of building a family.

“The monoculture is not an evil thing,” Malcolm says over panang curry and pineapple fried rice at a Thai restaurant the day after the conference’s VIP event, but, he continues, it’s built on false promises. “It promises people, if you join us, you can do whatever makes you happy, so long as it doesn’t interfere with other people’s quality of life, and you can be affirmed for whoever you want to be.” In reality, though, they become casualties of an elitist scam.

The urban monoculture, Malcolm explains, breeds childlessness and therefore must poach other people’s children to survive. It lures them out of small towns and into large cities, encourages them to eschew their religious upbringings in favor of hedonistic secularism, and then leaves them to die alone.

Malcolm compares the “urban monoculture” to the boarding schools the Canadian government forced Native children into, in which indigenous children were forcibly assimilated into white culture. (The U.S. government had similar boarding schools.) “It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to convert them to a culture that’s closer to mine — what you’re doing is wrong,” he says. When I tell him the boarding schools were a state program, not a voluntary form of acculturation, Malcolm becomes animated. “This is a state project! What’s going on in the public schools is a state project! The mechanisms that the urban monoculture uses to de-convert people are primarily a state funded educational system,” he says. (In a subsequent email, he describes the urban monoculture as “one of the descendants of European imperialism.”) The most important and effective way to fight the monoculture, Malcolm later tells me via email, is building “school systems not dedicated to cultural genocide.”

The goal, though, the Collinses tell me, is not to convert the childless, or even to counteract the phenomena that contribute to the “unplanned childlessness” that has become endemic among millennials: it’s to encourage people with a lot of children to have even more. “Some people matter less than other people in getting fertility rates up,” Malcolm says. “Helping somebody who has four kids but wants eight is more important than helping someone who has none but wants one.”

Ultimately, this is what unites the Collinses with the more “trad” wings of the natalist movement, from the nativists to the Christian nationalists: pushing back on social and cultural changes they see as imposed on them by outside forces. To do that, these conference attendees have coalesced around a solution that won’t require them to persuade skeptics to join their cause. If everything goes as planned, the competition will go extinct on their own. All the natalists have to do is have enough kids so that, in a generation or two, they’ll be the ones who inherit the earth.

Hello, I am really hoping that you are able to help me out with a little thing?

I have been looking for a possible white male faceclaim from Polish/Slovak(or mixed) descent, in his late twenties and with black wavy hair. Glasses and grey eyes would be a bonus, but not needed. I am also fine with if they are from any other Slavic countries at this point XD

I hope you have some laying around and thanks in advance

𝙝𝙞 𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙚! oh, i always have some slavic men laying around, who doesn't? i will say that i do struggle a bit with the specific differentiations between slavic, balkan, caucasian (the region! i'm a very big believer in using this term only appropriately and not to mean "white"), and mediterranean but i'll do my best!! ♡

Team spirit

Mercury is a bright thing in the night sky. They tell me it's a planet. I've never met a human who's seen it, but a girl who grew up on an asteroid said she saw a little black dot that might have been it once. I've never seen Mercury myself, but I've seen spaceships with their name on them. I've seen pictures.

Mercury is a small, swift, energetic thing — quicksilver, they call it. Velox: swift. Too swift for anyone to see it, but there are images of it. It's bright because it's made of the lightest things, and shines because it's so small.

Mercutio is a small, quick, energetic thing. He makes noises too loud for anyone to hear, and is made of things too light to be seen. He shines, and he can be seen for it.

Velox tragoediae: The swift comedy. It doesn't seem right, but it seems right to me. Because I'm dumb, and because I'm full of joy. I don't understand why I should understand things at all.

But I have a mind for feelings, and that's what I can do. So I will be dumb, and be happy, and sing at the top of my voice about it. And I will dedicate my life to things that do not understand me, and are confused by me. And when they see me, they will shout.

He says, "I know, I know, I know." And what is he knows? Everything. He knows who I am, and what I am, when I was born and where I live, and how old I am, and where I grew up and went to school, and what music I like, and what country I live in, and which planet I live on, and how many centimeters long I am, and my hair color and eye color, and that my hair curls to the left, and what my favorite food is, and that my favorite drink is strong coffee with milk, and that I speak English, and that I was born in a particular year, and the names of my classmates, and that I have a webcomic, and when it updates, and what it is about, and what I believe, and which type of girl I like, and the details of my political beliefs, and what I dislike, and what I dislike the most, and that I was born in a particular month, and that my birthday is in June, and that I like rock music, and that I'm a heterosexual male who is sexually attracted to women who have long hair, and what kind of car I drive, and what its model name is, and what its license plate number is, and that where I work, and how many people work there, and when I have lunch, and that I have three jobs, and that one of them pays me a little, and that one of them pays me only in the future, and that I have another job, and that it pays me more than the other jobs put together, and that the other jobs are full-time and they pay in the present, and that I play the bass guitar, and that I'm not very good at playing the bass guitar, and that I named my dog Freud, and that my wife is named Hector, and that Hector is a German shepherd, and that Hector smells really bad after he eats, and that I'm a fan of choral music, and what my favorite choral songs are, and that I like driving a car, and that I have four fingers on each hand, and what all the other fingers are for, and where I grew up, and what kind of apartment I live in, and who lives in the apartment next to me, and that she likes shrimp, and that she bought a blue dress, and that her dress looks great, and that I used to play the trumpet, and that there are ten keys on a piano, and that a cat is both a sly animal and a type of small dog, and that the German word for lamp is Lampen, and how many letters there are in the English word English, and that the English word gun is German for cannon, and that there are fourteen letters in the Hungarian word for octopus, and that Hungarian used to be used by forty million people, and that Hungary is a small country but has a lot of rivers, and that there are thirty different types of basil, and that basil is the same as melissa, and that in New England we used to speak Navajo, and that there's a lake in Chile that is the same height as a plane is long, and that yesterday was the same day as the day I was born, and that tomorrow will be the same day as tomorrow, and that rivers are freshwater because they run fast, and that Mercury is a very small planet, and that Mercury was named after the human god Mercury, and that Mercury was named because he was the god of trade, and that there are rivers in China and they are all salty, and that Tuesday is the same as Tuesday and Wednesday, and that there are twenty-seven letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and that when you add two numbers you usually get a bigger number, and that there are more galaxies in the observable universe than there are people on earth, and that you are a human person named Cordelia, and that she's a really pretty girl, and that last week was the same as last week, and that the world is a strange place, and that you like living in it.

Did you like living in it? No, but you used to, didn't you? And what makes you sure? What makes you know?

How do you know that I'm sad? No, I'm not. But I am.

Velox tragoediae. The swift comedy. No, I don't understand that one, I'll tell you that much. But I am too dumb to know why that's a bad thing. I'll be me, and I'll be happy. If that makes you dumber, then so be it.

But don't be dumb. No, I don't care what you do.

Perdidi: I have lost. You don't understand how that works, do you? How can you feel something you don't understand? The feeling is real, though.

Feel it. And sing.

Even in the dark and cold, the sky still shines. Even in the dark and the cold, there is something worth fighting for. That's all I know, and it's all I need to know. We're here, and we're alive, and this isn't over, and we're going to keep going. If it's not worth fighting for, it's not worth living.

And anyway, think of all the pretty things, Mercury. Think of all the things you will find on your way home, and all the things you will see, and all the pretty pictures, and all the pretty faces, and all the happy little things. I want them to live. I'm sorry, Mercury. And I want you to live, too. Don't you want to see me smile?

Velox tragoediae: The swift comedy. If you can't make me laugh, what's the point?

But I have a mind for feelings, and that's what I can do. And what I can do is tell you to sing.

Opto, capio, loquor: I saw, I understood, I spoke. How do I tell you? With my mouth. I am dumb. I speak so you will understand, because I don't understand.

I understand Mercury. I understand it all. But you don't. Don't be sad.

When you sing, you don't feel alone. What are you singing about? It doesn't matter. What matters is that you're singing. It doesn't matter if you're sad. It doesn't matter if you aren't sad. It doesn't matter. But it matters that you sing. That's why we sing.

What matters is not the song, but the singing. Sing the same thing over and over again, no matter what. Sing the same thing when it's time to work, and when it's time to play, and when you're sleepy and when you're sad, and when you're happy. Sing, and sing, and sing. Listen to you sing, and you will know that you are alive, that there is something worth living for.

But don't be dumb.

Nescio: I don't know. That's not the point. The point is that there are still things I don't know. The point is that I am not dumb. I'm not dumb, and I don't know things, but I am not dumb. There are things I don't know, and that's why I'm not dumb.

Should I pretend not to be dumb? Should I pretend to be smart? No. Should I pretend to be smart? I shouldn't. I'm not dumb. I won't be dumb. Pretending won't make you smart.

Capturing The Sun Queen! How Mária Telkes And Her Radical Design Modeled A New Future.

— Published: March 27, 2023 | Kirstin Butler

Celebrated LIFE Magazine photographer Ralph Morse captured scores of notable Americans—actress Audrey Hepburn posing with the Oscar she won for the film “Roman Holiday,” baseball legend Jackie Robinson stealing home base at the 1955 World Series, astronaut John Glenn suiting up for space—but before all of them came the “Sun Queen,” and her house.

In the winter of 1949, LIFE sent Morse to Dover, Massachusetts to train his lens on Mária Telkes, a Hungarian-born inventor and chemical engineer who earned that regal nickname for her relentless pursuit of solar technology. As a freshman at the University of Budapest, Telkes had read a book called Energy Sources of the Future, about the sun’s vast potential to meet human energy needs. “This was the deciding moment,” she said later. “The book described experiments, mostly conducted in the United States, and therefore this was the place for me.”

After receiving her doctorate in physical chemistry in 1924, Telkes immigrated to the U.S., where she worked as a biophysicist at the Cleveland Clinic. She then joined Westinghouse Electric as a research engineer, developing thermocouples that could transform heat energy into electricity. While at Westinghouse she heard about an initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that aligned with her desire to harness the sun’s power. She wrote to MIT’s solar project asking for a job, and when hired in 1939, became the project’s sole woman.

It wasn’t only gender that differentiated Telkes from many of her colleagues. While they focused on academic analysis, she was practical-minded; Telkes was interested in the widest real-world applications of solar-powered technology. She was also strong-willed, and her penchant for self-promotion put her at odds with the MIT project’s leadership. Finally, Telkes decided to forge her own path—and found two new collaborators.

She identified a patron in Amelia Peabody, an heiress who owned hundreds of acres in Dover, Massachusetts, a rural town about 45 minutes outside of Boston. Years earlier, Peabody, who was also a sculptor, had commissioned Boston architect Eleanor Raymond to design a sculpture studio on her Dover estate. Like Telkes, Raymond was herself a pioneer in a nearly all-male field. The three women now teamed up to realize Telkes’s ambition: a home relying on nothing but the sun for its heat.

The May 1949 issue of LIFE Magazine included an illustration of Telkes’s innovative design for keeping the Dover Sun House warm.

The main challenge vexing MIT’s theoreticians and pragmatists alike was the question of energy storage. Capturing the sun’s heat was one thing, but storing it for use on cloudy days was, Telkes noted in a 1949 paper, “the critical problem.” She saw a potential solution in phase-changing materials—chemical compounds that held or released heat when changing form from solid to liquid, and back. Specifically, Telkes was interested in a substance called Glauber’s salt.

A sodium form of sulfuric acid given the name sal mirabile, or miraculous salt, by the German scientist who first synthesized it, Glauber’s salt was solid until it reached 90o Fahrenheit, at which point it liquified. When the salt cooled down again, it recrystallized, releasing all of the stored heat it absorbed. In the Dover design, Telkes placed 4,275 gallons of the salts in drums inside the home’s walls; fans then blew the hot air through the house via ducts.

On Christmas Eve 1948, the home’s new inhabitants moved into what came to be known as the Dover Sun House. The two-bedroom structure was wedge-shaped with its living areas on the first floor. The second story consisted of 18 windows facing south, for maximum sun exposure. Behind the windows were black painted panels to maximize absorption of the sun’s rays; this solar-generated heat was then used to heat up the Glauber’s salt, which then performed its miraculous task. Telkes had succeeded in realizing the world’s first fully solar-powered home.

The Sun House quickly became a landmark. Twice a week, thousands of visitors arrived for tours. The media also came calling. LIFE sent its top photojournalist to capture Telkes’s brainchild, which struck as dramatic a pose in its environment as she did in her fur coat before it. “Its stark, modern lines stand out in the New England countryside,” noted the May 1949 issue of Popular Science, which featured an illustration of the home on the front cover. Andrew Nemethy was three years old when he and his parents took up residence in the Sun House. “By mid-century architectural standards, it might as well have been dropped in the middle of a field by aliens,” he wrote in the Boston Globe, 70 years after his family’s part in Telkes’s experiment.

The March 1949 issue of Popular Science magazine featured a stylized illustration of the Sun House on its cover.

Eventually, however, the experiment began to fail. Glauber’s salt had a few problems: Over successive heating and cooling cycles, it stratified permanently into solid and liquid components, requiring the bins to be replaced. The salt was also corrosive, and began to leak from its metal containers. Midway through the home’s third winter, the heating system broke down.

For Telkes, however, perfection was never the point. She understood the necessity of exciting the public imagination about the possibilities of solar power. “Each new house,” she explained in 1950, “is another experimental stepping stone toward the use of the sun as a fuel resource.” Before the adoption of a new technology, people needed to be sold on its value—its glamour, even. If cutting a fashionable figure in front of the Sun House quickened support of solar energy, she would play to the camera.

When Ralph Morse first set out to become a photographer, one of his first jobs was at Harper’s Bazaar magazine. After only three days, though, he quit—according to his 2015 New York Times obituary, “he found fashion shoots vapid.” The image he captured of Mária Telkes could just as easily have appeared in Vogue as in LIFE, but in this case Morse’s subject satisfied his need for substance. Mária Telkes wanted nothing less than to transform the way society got the power it needed to thrive. “It is the things supposed to be impossible that interest me,” she once said. “I like to do things they say cannot be done.”

☄ — Some people say that Gabor "Gabe" Pete Erdös could be Darce Montgomery ’s doppelgänger, but is really a 28 year old Owner & Manager of Pine Hallow . They mainly identified as a Bisexual Cis-Male , and described to be an overachiever, diligent, protective, & loyal.

■ . B A C K G R O U N D . ■

Gabor grew up in a middle-class farmhouse in Hungary with his two younger siblings, called Pine Hallow. Since Gabe was young, he was always expected to be his siblings’ protector and positive role model. Roles that he didn’t mind taking, truthfully, he adored his brother and sister; would do absolutely everything and anything for them. Some might say he’s a bit overprotective, but he would never care what others thought - he could even justify it as just doing his job. Though as time passed and his father grew weaker, the responsibility of his siblings and farm was beginning to land on Gabor’s shoulders, and more stress started to fill his head at night. Still, he was also too determined to show his worth to his father, considering the old man constantly taunted him about being too pretty to be a true Hungarian man. However, even after months of never failing the family’s farm and business or the responsibility of taking himself and his siblings to school - it still wasn’t good enough. Especially when Xena was diagnosed with a Stage-Three tumor in her lungs. After taking the young girl to millions of different doctors - there was still nothing they could do except make her feel comfortable. Six months, one week, and six days later - Xena died in Gabor’s arms after watching a movie. Though Gabe watched the medics take his sister’s lifeless body away, he didn’t wait for his parent’s disappointment to add to his guilt. Before they realized what happened, Gabor packed a bag and ran—never speaking to his family again. Weeks, hell, maybe even months after running away from home - Gabor worked for food and shelter but would never spend any longer than 2 or 3 nights in one place. He was only 19-years-old, and there wasn’t much he could do, so he set out to move to the country everyone talks about, the one that is vastly known as ‘The Land of the Free.’ Though only one problem - how the hell was he supposed to get there? Bumping into a man with piercing blue eyes and black hair and ultimately intimidating - he offered Gabe a ride on his ship…well, one of his ships, though in exchange for the travels, he would have to do things around the boat, chores no one else would want to do. Hell, he was a farmer for a decade, nearly two - how hard could chores on a ship be? Well, extremely hard, though as always - he was determined though…now his determination was more for himself than for someone else. Over time, Gabe was known as Poseidon's Trident’s cabin boy and slowly made a name for himself in the pirate universe. No, he never made it to America, but he unknowingly found a new home in piracy as he gladly accepted the promotion from the man who first brought him on board as a mate on the man’s ship, Dragon’s Plunder.

Being a pirate...it was the only thing that made sense to Gabe - there wasn’t a living soul on any of the Darragh’s ships that weren’t hiding from something or someone...especially the Darraghs, he built a family on Dragon’s Plunder -- a family that he swore to himself never to abandon. There wasn’t a day he never stopped thinking about his blood family...his family’s farm...everything he left in Hungary; however, he still had a job to do, and he wasn’t going to let his captain down now. A mission in Ukraine came up, and it was a mission that was personally assigned from the Dragon’s Plunder’s captain to Gabor...a mission that dangerous but essential to the Darragh’s fleet. To which Gabe gladly took - he was only 24-years-old, and he thought he was untouchable. Well, that belief was soon about to change. Being in Ukraine for only about four days, Gabor thought the mission was going well - at least until the floor became unstable. No matter how quickly his legs and feet snapped into action, it wouldn’t have mattered - he was in a motel on the second floor, and the ceiling was already starting to come in on him. Still, he thought he could make it outside safely, at least until he ran towards the toward and the debris from the ceiling fell in front of him and through the floor, so, when Gabe took that extra step to leave, he fell through the hole and landed on his back on top of hard debris. He could instantly feel his shoulder snapping out of place and a near suffocating pinch against his spine. Lucky enough for him, there was an off-duty cop there that helped him out of the motel and out of the way from the rest of the falling debris. Hardly able to walk, the cop had to carry him and lay him down in a safe spot till the earthquake was over. It lasted for only 45 seconds, but it truly felt like a lifetime at that moment, and hours till the paramedics finally arrived. Finally arriving at the hospital, his shoulder was simply popped back into place, but the real damage was done to his back. A fractured tail bone and snapped spine, needless to say, the mate was unable to move. Because of how severe his injury is, his captain and First Mate told him he could not return to the ship, not because they didn’t want him but because they couldn’t risk making his injury worse on the boat, seeing how a pirate’s job is more than just their job on the ship but to the crew and captain. In 12 hours, the Hungarian pirate….ex-pirate’s world was flipped upside down.

Gabor was a Dragon’s Plunder mate for seven years; for that reason, when he was released from the hospital, his old crew took him to Pierdut Isle as a civilian to rest and heal. Walking was still a bit tricky for him, but with crutches, it was...doable. All he wanted was to go back to the ship, to his second family. Settling into the Overwater Bungalow, only walking around the house to get his weak ass legs to start working again, Gabor was by himself for the better of a few weeks...possibly months - he wasn’t too sure. The only thing that saved him was knowing that Emily Pentali and Mason Rulolin were both on the island as well; he only left his new home to see them. Once he could walk without his crutches, Gabe changed into some gym shorts and a tank top and walked around the island. A couple of months later, the ex-mate was able to jog along the beach, there was still that tinge of pain in his back, but he still refused to be a cripple. The farmer and pirate in him wouldn’t let him just be a crippled couch potato. It was nearing the end of summer, and he was taking his routine jog on the beach when he ran into the most attractive human he’s ever seen. The spare princess of Hungary, Alexandra Kardos. Someone he’s known since they were kids, and even though she was a princess and he was a simple farmer - the two were always inseparable. Hell, he eve became her “bodyguard,” though they could find themselves alone most of the times, the more chance of them making out was higher. The two agreed to become Friends with Benefits, not realizing that the other had feelings for the other. They both knew how important they were to the other, but neither knew how deep either of their feels went. Not to mention, when he left Hungary, he didn’t tell anyone he was leaving - not even Alexandra.

Seeing Alexandra again became too much, therefore before Christmas, Gabe made arrangements for a ship to take him to Hungary to visit his family. People he hasn’t seen in 8 years. Every thought was only about the princess, and his feelings for her were only growing more substantial, and he didn’t know what to do...he couldn’t act on his feelings. Not when he learned that in the end, Alex would be marrying someone else. Plus, it’s been too long since he’s seen his family and knew it was time to see them and make amends. Of course, for the first few days, all there was, was bickering and arguing. Eventually, they could sit down around the dinner table and talk things out like adults. Gabe knew there were so many things he needed to make amends for. Allowing his sister to pass, leaving the second the paramedics took her away, losing all contact with his family and waiting eight years to reach out to them again. Trust him, he knew it, and he would gladly pay for it. Though his family, as always, were too kind. After hearing about his incident in Ukraine, they gave him chores that he could do without making a healing injury worse. Though it’s almost been a year, and even though when he was overworked, his back would hurt, and his lower back would turn slightly numb, but he swore he was able to do his old chores. After all, you couldn’t live on a farm and just sit around. One morning, before sunrise, Gabor and his younger brother saddled up their horses for a ride that was only for the Erdös’s siblings. A ride that he didn’t realize he missed till now. As the horses were eating the grass, the brothers sat on the edge of the cliff that overlooked the city that was a few miles away from their farm...waiting for the sun to rise and set a new day. The now youngest Erdös pulled out a gold chain with a locket that had an emerald gem in the middle of it. His brother was starting to explain, staring at the necklace, and it only grew Gabor’s curiosity. Though he began to listen to his brother, he soon discovered that the emerald gem was their baby sister’s ashes condensed into the gem and glued into the locket. Once the locket was in his hands, he opened it to find a photo of his family on the left and a photo of only Xena on the right. One of their favorite photos of her. Immediately he started to cry...his heartbreaking all over again from the loss of his sister and from abandoning his family right after.

Returning to Pierdut Isle a couple of months later, he settled back into his Overwater Bungalow and took many...many shots. Trying to work up the courage to talk to Alexandra again; however, it wasn’t Alexandra he ran into and ended up talking to...and more; though Alex caught him with another girl in his bed. There is only one person Gabor Erdös ever had feelings for, and that is Alexandra Kardos. Thus, the girl beside him didn’t mean anything to him other than a drunk hookup and mistake, considering now that every time he thinks of that night, he could only think about the betrayal hidden in Alex’s eyes. Gabor is still trying to mend the relationship between him and Alex, though he knew it would take a lot more than just confessing how he truly feels about her.

If anything else, at least now he has an escape back to his home to work/manage his family’s farm, Pine Hallow.

■ . I M P O R T A N T . C O N N E C T I O N S. ■

♢ Pete Erdös — The bond between the two was rocky, Pete expected a lot out of his first born son, for he was going to be the carrier of not only the Erdös name, but carry on the family's farm, Pine Hallow. Not to mention he expected Gabor to be a great role model for his younger siblings. When the youngest child and only daughter of Pete and Elena was diagnosed with cancer, he never blamed the death on his oldest - how he acted afterwards, however, is something he held him responsible for. Years later when Gabe came back, Pete knew he was dying a lot more rapidly then he expected and didn't have time to punish Gabe. By the look n his eyes, he knew his first son punished himself...and still is. Therefore, he embraced Gabe in a warm hug and formed a close bond with him that was apparently never there before. ♢ Elena Erdös — The bond between Gabe and his mom has always been different then Gabe and his father. His mom is the reason why he grew obsessed with learning as many languages as possible, and of course, being able to cook and bake mean dishes. His mom is a graceful woman and always felt protected and welcomed in her arms. Even after Gabe abandoned them with no word for 8 years. ♢ Hunter Erdös — While Gabor and Hunter's parents were in their lives, Gabe was the one to really raise Hunter. The one he went to when he needed help or just to talk to. He looked up to him but when their baby sister passed away and Gabe abandoned them. There was disdain settling into him about his older brother. However, as he reached out to him after 7 years - he vented his frustrations to Gabe and after a few long conversations, the two were beginning to become close again. ♢ Xena Erdös — The only girl Gabe was convinced he could ever unconditionally love. Since his baby sister's death he convinced himself that he was never worthy of love. Taking this hard, he decided it be best to run away and disown himself from his family before they had the chance to. Still till this day, he still mourns her and wishes he had just a few more seconds with her. ♢ Alexandra Kardos — Alexandra and Gabor have been close since they were kids. Which was odd considering Alexandra is the Spare Princess of Hungary and Gabe was just a simple farmboy. Nevertheless, the two formed a close bond where eventually he became her bodyguard, but also the only one to get-her-off as well. The two started growing a deeper bond than just friends having simple sex. Though when Alex caught Gabe with someone else on the island - Alex made it clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Though, Gabe is too stubborn to give up on her entirely. ♢ Emily Pentali — Mason, Emily, and Gabe they are the three-musketeers. They are inspirable on Dragon's Plunder. There was literally nothing and no one that could separate the three. With Emily, she reminds Gabe of his sister who had passed. The reason why he turned to piracy. Though this time he swore to protect Emily for as long as possible and harder than he ever protected Xena. ♢ Mason Rulolin — For eighteen years, Gabe believed he was straight. Granted there was a few guys he thought was attractive but he never had sexual thoughts about them. However, meeting Mason - he had completely changed that. After their first greeting, Gabe's thoughts and dreams were only about Mason in the most inappropriate of ways. But, Gabe knew himself and he cherished having the other's friendship more than just have a casual fuck with him. They are still friends...best friends and there is nothing he wouldn't do for him.
