I'm a big fan of Kōbō Abe. The Woman In The Dunes is probably his most famous and easiest to read of the ones I've encountered. For a more dream-like, trippy experience, try The Box Man or The Ruined Map.

You could partner with a developer and create some themes and sell them in theme marketplaces. That's one way designers can make scalable recurring revenue. Most of the customer support will be on the developer's side to solve bug

Do you think that the average earth ecosystem is better or worse off with modern human civilization?

That's a good point and it depends on where you fall on the nature vs nurture scale. But in terms of passing on knowledge and morality, I would think nurture would be vastly more important than nature. However, I admit I don't h

I understand that the adoption process is a big pain. But compared to the massive physical strain on the body of the mother and the risk of death / debilitating injury / birth defects / trauma of losing a pregnancy / ri

By your logic, wouldn't adopting be a better way to help the world? You would still be able to pass on your knowledge and attempt to create a better version of yourself, but you wouldn't be producing yet another person straining
