- nradov 2y agoNone of those tribes have ever managed to accomplish much. I doubt that's a coincidence.
- PartiallyTyped 2y agoI think we are dealing with survivorship bias more so than anything else. We can look back and speculate about society, how it functioned and all that, but every time we do we are limited in knowledge and by our own biases. I chose to reply as I did because of the whole “I doubt it’s a coincidence”.

- PartiallyTyped 2y agoI can't reply to the flagged comment, but I can reply to myself. There is so much more in humanity than our ability to procreate — every living organism does that, that's not special, it doesn't make us human. What makes us human, is our ability to create, to pour our heart and very essence into our art, the desire to reach perfection in our craft. We create knowledge, we explore the world, and are in the process of discovering its true nature. We kiss and dance and love, we give, and we share. Having kids doesn't prevent us from enjoying all those things, but having kids is also not a prerequisite for a good and fulfilling life. Anyone can have children, but not everyone can create good people, and personally, I love my unborn children too much to expose them to this world.
