Here, I'll tell you guys my personal philosophy, because I've been... I've always been a weirdo, I've usually been alone... in my life, I've had a couple flings, you know, I've had some interaction, with the fairer sex. But, I've come to the realization, as I've gotten older, that I figured out the meaning of life, and if you guys would entertain me, here's my meaning of life. The whole reason that you exist is extremely simple. I've thought about this for years and years. I believe, that in this point of time, the only reason you exist is to have babies, and a childless life, is a totally meaningless life.
Like, even with Nikola Tesla, he was a famous Serbian engineer, but he was childless, he never dated, he never married, everyone thought he was gay, and he fell in love with a pigeon, that's the story of Nikola Tesla. And even someone as famous and as influential as him- he's dead, and he didn't further his genetics in his time on Earth. And I guess maybe, you could theoretically posit that his intelligence, his contributions to science are his offspring, his legacy- but, you know, I don't hold that, because the thing about science is that it's true, and it's always true. If something isn't discovered by a certain person, if you killed Nikola Tesla before he discovered what he did for instance, it would be discovered later by someone else, because what he found is a truth. It's a natural law, it's a thing that always will exist, and if it's discovered later, then at worst, it just sets back humanity a little bit. I think nobody could argue, even following that logic, that Tesla having children would be better than him not having kids(?).
I would say it's better to have kids and not be a success, than to not have kids at all, at least in terms of the selfish concept of why you're here. If you don't have kids and you die, you will be forgotten and you're a dead end. You're not the product of good people, or of the smartest people, you're just the product of people who could make it, you know what I mean? You're the product of the good enough. And I think people who get so caught up in their own imagination and their own work and their sciences and studies, who put everything including family and relationships and children behind those things, they're not fit enough- they couldn't balance the things in their life that they need. That's why the most intelligent people often also seem to be the most depressed, because they don't have a balance of things in their life. It's such a primal thing, it's such an instinct that everyone has, if you can't do that, you really weren't good enough to be carried on, you deserve to be extinguished from the tree of life. If you want to know what I think the meaning of life is, it's children, and that's it, literally nothing else.
