As someone who talks to people who have kids vs talking to Tesla, I'd rather talk to Tesla. Having Tesla's mind would be world changing. Would I give up my kids to have Tesla's mind? Of course not, but I don't have kids right now so I have nothing to give up. This is talk of oxytocin, not logic. Forget it Red, you will never get through to these people.

Tesla died alone in a hotel room, in love with a pigeon. Brilliant? Absolutely. The blueprint for human flourishing? You tell me.
I’d rather die alone in a hotel room knowing I impacted the world in significant ways
than
die surrounded by descendants who will never amount to anything.
It is better to be of service to all than it is to be of service to a select few simply because those few are genetically attached to your ego.
Unconditional love means loving your neighbor as yourself. If you love your own children more than everyone else in the world, you don’t get Christ’s teachings.
