This is dumb unless the kids or being held against thier well. I literally miss half of HS and graduated top 20 of my class of 300.
Forcing me to go would have been needless cruelty.
Your act like I'm forcing them at gun point. Forcing anything on anyone is counter productive.
Me doing what I want has already achieved the goals of many people that came before me. My predecessors didn't force any of that on me. I wanted it. It's just statistics and I am just the part of them that met their dreams.
All everyone before had to do was keep struggling to get me here. Just like I plan for my children and teach them the value of passing it on so thier kids don't struggle as hard and have it easier to achieve thier own goals.
40k years later hey maybe something happends that I would love to be there for but that statistical chance will never happen if I don't have any kids or raise them to be all they can be in world that likes to grind us.
Lol sole vehicle! No way! thats too short sighted. That's the whole blood line is for.
If my kids don't want to construct a Dyson sphere so be it. I'm not going to force them. What I will do is force them be successful and build upon the success I made so that there is chance I can be part of it in some shape or form long after I'm gone. Squandering all the effort I put into this life like some trash billionare while they willing do nothing with thiers would be the biggest slap in the face to me.
Think inception all you have to do put the idea. If it doesn't take that's OK they just put another brick down in the foundation.
Never had any ambition or dreams that was greater than 1 life time?
If not, yeah I could see how it's pointless to care for another human until its self sufficient.
If you want any part of you to achieve something past the one life you have, children are the only way ambition can continue. Hell even your kids could not want to continue but you got grand kids and so forth. One of them may.
As parent all we so is provide Fondation for the dream to continue.
I wouldn't recognize him. Dude looks like he is on something .... or just being a takeout employee.
