i'm in a field filled with big ego/low emotional intelligence people and it'd wild to me how obsessed with "legacy" so many of them are.

no one even knows about you, why would they care about your family line? the most history will remember 99.999% of us is some obituary in a newspaper noone reads. the only way you really impact those odds is by being a creative or making in impact in your community/ie. joining political stage

all caught up in the rat race wasting their lifes chasing a fulfillment/acknowledgement they'll never recieve from the boss/org while burning what little potential for human connection they actually have by overworking so much.

My dad: “if you don’t have kids, the family name and lineage dies with you.”

Me:

If you start tracing family's back far enough you find that most "lineages" get murky pretty fast.

Anyone walking around doing spermatogenesis without a vasectomy is a fucking idiot.
