Me again. I've had this same conversation with my mom. Having children is her "greatest accomplishment." She wants me to have kids, and says that is the greatest thing I can achieve. And one day she would tell my kids the best they can do is have kids. Is that really all mankind was put on Earth for? To multiply like bacteria? Eventually someone in the bloodline has to say, "fuck having kids. I'm building rocketships."
And no, great men do NOT have families. Telsa was a bachelor. Beethoven, bachelor. Isaac Newton, bachelor. There are successful men with children, but they either found success before starting a family, or after a divorce.
Zuckerberg, Gates (yes kikes I am aware) etc all became big names BEFORE they got married, and then stagnated afterwards. Steve Jobs remained successful because he disowned his own daughter.
Wife+Kids=no time for greatness
It's fine if you are mediocre and reproduction is the pinnacle of your life, but to say all childfree men are failures is just retarded. All the best men in history had no kids and no wife. Once a great man gets married, he is no longer great.
Good! Millennials Are Causing the US Divorce Rate to Plummet
Why would that surprise me?
Sad to break this to you, but even that will not protect you. In many cases, your dwelling with the person and having a child with them is enough in the eyes of the court to act as if you were married in the first place.
You misunderstood, friend. Modern Family showed the gay couple to be the worst parents of all three families they were showcasing. They were selfish, frequently forgot to look after their daughter, and used her as a dog or doll to dress up and take photos of.
If anything, the propaganda worked the other way.
No one put you here. You appeared here through millions of years of breeding, so technically your mom and dad and all your ancestors put you here. If you want to put stock in what your creators want for you, have kids like your mom said.
Yeah, strive for greatness and innovation, but that's got nothing to do with breeding "like bacteria" (which, btw, breed entirely different than humans)
i don't.
no shit. i obviously wasn't talking about humans budding a clone asexually. the similarity is that bacteria reproduce for the sake of reproduction. there is no greater purpose. that is how my mom and Zig Forums see life. we are here to make white babies, who will make white babies, who will make white babies, etc. and it doesnt matter if we learn about the universe or create art or invent anything or explore space. just keep making copies of yourself so we can "live forever" through our descendents. it doesn't matter if none of your progeny do anything special, they just have to look like you. thats bacteria's gameplan.
As opposed to…?
Also, you're being presumptuous about what bacteria do and why. They've been shown to coordinate attacks with each other as a single organism to take down animals that are gargantuan to them. When their attack fails, they stay dormant and wait for the organism to grow weaker until they strike again. You're trying to rise above human fallacies and intuitive assumptions, but you're doing anything but that by assuming that bacteria reproduce for the sake of reproduction.
The "greatest purpose" of life is to stay alive now, and long-term. It is built in all your instincts down to the core of you. If you can accomplish staying alive long-term through any means other than reproducing, I'd like to see you try. Men have been dreaming of immortality forever.
Hitler, Tesla, Beethoven all died childless and their names will be known for thousands of years. My great grandfather had like 12 kids but I don't even know his first name.

Art is just shit put together. Any animal can smear their shit on a leaf and you wouldn't call it art. Some guy pissing on a cross in a baththub was also called art.
Tesla and Beethoven are forever gone in the world and their faux existence in it is at the mercy of people's memory. In this day and age when people are trying to throw basics of human reality, like the existence of and differences between genders, down the memory hole, do you honestly trust people to remember them and not reinvent history to wipe them or smear them for "being racist" or some shit?
As for Hitler, they've already done just that.
