By this logic you should have as many children as possible.
- rayiner 12y agoBy that logic, all else being equal, society in the aggregate (not necessarily any individual) should have as many kids as possible. I don't think it's such a far fetched idea. I think at least one of the subconscious appeals of Star Trek is that it's a story where humanity is freed from being tied to a single world, and populates worlds all over the galaxy.
