Ok, it's been said before but I'll say it again.

I see myself as a creative and intelligent person who, if born rich, would be a Renaissance man doing my own research, engaging in numerous activities.

Thus, my goal in life is to become independently wealthy and do the above.

Now, since many of my pals have had children and so forth, I'm absolutely astonished at how lame and boring these kids are. At best, they parrot TV shows and break toys, to the best of their abilities. In contrast, when I was a kid, I was dreaming of writing screenplays, inventing a lightsaber, and so forth.

Yes, my parents squashed my dreams and made me think of engineering, accounting, and so on but at least when I got started, I had bigger dreams.

But now, I've come to accept these facts. Yes, for the most part, children are lame and at best, one can hope that they don't get in trouble with the law or sleep in your basement for life. Those parents, whose kids are the next Alexander Hamilton or Buckminster Fuller, are the fortunate ones.

With that said, I have no incentive nor motivation to have my own. When I'm an old man, I'll be like Frank Lloyd Wright, constantly writing down ideas and working on things of interest without having a lifelong kid/adult sleeping near my study spaces.

Then make more babies to enable economy of scale for your own home school. By cashing out the pair of tickets from more than one women if necessary, being honest and supportive of each, of course, if you can afford it.

^^

New Renter, this one is for you. Execute pick 'n roll.

I'd love to but I can't make heads or tails of this one!

Economy of scale? WTF?!

Sounds like you're about to go David Koresh, put together a harem of zombie wives and found your own Zion out in the desert somewhere.

The FBI will be with you presently.

Not interest in harem, not interested in religion, not interested in desert, not interested in FBI either. Just date one woman at a time, like normal guys do, except without the pregnancy phobia.

Wow you really put a lot of value on the quality of your man-juice don't you?

I dunno if the rest of society would agree.

Not my man-juice per se, but the proper raising of a child under my paternal right to know and supervise . . . unlike the welfare recipient households where the kids are raised in atrocious conditions despite my tax money subsidizing it, because none of us have any right to know what's going on inside their houses.

Like I said, it's not about my man-juice. If I can inspire another middle-class or upper middle-class family to have another child, to be raised under proper parental supervision, so much the better!

I am not convinced that the women having kids with loser males will matter in the long term. There really are no corrective forces now for this tragic setup. This may not be the case in the future. The people that have a fewer kids but invest heavily in them may actually win out in the end because they will have the skill sets for thriving in a tough environment when those corrective forces return.

I put up a simple thread, declaring that I wouldn't be having kids, and this has generated more fervor here than either LeBron coming back to Cleveland or the World Cup.

An even more stark example of pay-off matrix modifying female sexual selection without massive die-off can be found in the "lightening" of African American complexion vs. their African ancestors and cousins left behind in Africa. The African Americans are much lighter in skin color as a result of only 300 years or so of racism conferring social advantages to those with lighter skin color. That was sufficient to change skin color of the population to such an immense degree that a substantial segment of the population already "crossed over" and self-identify as "white" for many decades now. All this took place without massive die-off. Of course selecting for skin color is rather frivolous, but selecting for intelligence and good work ethics instead of drug-addled sloth would have positive social value.

Rin,

We took our daughter to Great America yesterday to watch Frozen on the big screen. This morning, I kissed her on while she's still sleeping. Best feeling ever. There are certain thing in life money can't buy, and this is one of them.

Like I said before. You don't know what you don't know. Nieces and Nephews are not the same, not even close. Úm ùm um.

The way things are today, the planet would be better off without humans. I am not a biblical scholar, and the movie may not be the best source at all, but I just saw Noah, and that is exactly what God thought at that time, according to the story.

This Saturday is a work weekend for me. Basically, it sucks.

Not too long ago, however, I had that perfect Saturday.

I was staying at a four star hotel in Montreal's downtown.

I woke up after 10:30, went to the hotel gym and used the exercise bike along with some weights.

After showering, I met up with a Canadian buddy for lunch.

And then, after lunch, I started working on another friend's screenplay. I was helping out by ghost writing two of the chapters.

By late afternoon, I went to a Martial Arts demo and participated in some of the drills and tutorials. Afterwards, had dinner with the crew there.

Upon returning to the hotel, I went back to the screenplay. I started sharing some of my work with my writer friend via IM. We did some brainstorming and I went back to making edits.

By late evening, a busty svelte dancer arrived at my room. We completed our workout with my pole sliding between her knockers. We had a few Martinis and went for a second round. I won't describe anymore.

When the day was over, all I could say was … I feel good!

Sir,

You were once a child, and yes - maturation takes more time. Even more time in the era of Entitlement/convenience/ease/credit. I was once a democrat, - I have repented and now am at a small firm, working on R&D, having patents, working on saving lives and clean energy. I do this for my child, and all the children in the world.

More than random mixing. The drastic lightening is due to social promotion leading to selective mating under racism.

Comes to think of it, the very reason why difference races emerged was largely due to female selective mating to begin with! Or for that matter probably human intelligence itself!

The government is you're tool, your only tool. You own it.

Even if oligarchy convinces you that all government can do is to serve their needs, you still own the government, you are just persuaded from exercising your ownership control.

It's like saying:

Coercion, Robbery and Murder are your tools, and your only tools; you own them.

No I don't own the government. If I own it, can I have my slice of it? I want to sell it. Where is the buyer?

Only individuals can come up with solutions to world's problems. "Government" is just coercion, robbery and murder that some people carry out in the name of others.

If Hebrews had been like tea-baggers, they would hated the idea of following a leader, Moses, to the promised land.

Instead would just spread in all directions as each individual would have had it.

Because it's a fact that individuals always know better than the government.

I hope you do realize, at the time of Moses, the "government" was the Pharoah. Moses was the individual who led a bunch of individuals in a different direction from where the Pharoah wanted to enslave them.

Nope, Moses was the leader (and so "government") of the Hebrews the minute they fled Egypt.

Since you are against any central leadership, you should relate to that.
