Is fathering 28 offspring your idea of a better life?

• tough 1y ago
  at least that gorilla seemed more caring of his 28 offspring and his community than say some billionaire's obsessed with having children...

  I dunno. I’m not sure how to calibrate that to human standards—I’m sure gorilla parenting is not quite as involved as human parenting.

  Yes, I would have as many children as I could afford to comfortably raise.

  Assuming a stable population, if some males are fathering dozens of offspring, the bulk of males are probably fathering zero. Are those males still part of society or are then shunned/killed? What does the life of a not-dominant male look like? One who isn't the king's favorite?
