    This is such a weird take. It sounds like looking for a reason to be happy with your decision to have kids.

    Here’s the thing about your genes “outliving” others’: by definition, it cannot affect you at all.

      I don’t have to make a justification for having my kids. I simply wanted to.

      And yes, so far so good on my genes outliving the people who won’t have kids. Genes are kinda selfish, ya know? Have you actually read any books on this subject?

        Have you ever read Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá? If we’re doing early humanity sociological book recs.
