00:06:13.500The greatest gift he gave us, or one of the greatest, is death.
00:06:16.520And it's one of the greatest gifts he gave us in this intergenerational cycle we get to be a part of.
00:06:21.340Because I get to look everywhere in the world and find anyone I want to, like the best person I want to, to mix my genes with, to fix my flaws.
00:06:29.320And then I get to give the next iteration of myself any childhood I want to, the best childhood I can imagine for them.
00:06:35.160And then on top of all that, I get to tell them what I believe.
00:06:39.160And the most beautiful thing is they can say, no, you believe that because of some prejudice due to when you were growing up or some bias due to your childhood.
00:06:46.640The slate gets wiped clean, and they can improve upon me in a way that I could never improve upon myself.
00:06:55.420But I think that, you know, to talk about it in terms of what's owed or what not owed, we're just trying to point out that if you don't have kids, then if you can work to, like, help your brother raise their kids, right?
00:07:06.040Then people like you might exist in the future, right?
00:07:08.020But then to stay stable, your brother has to have, like, five, six kids, and you need to be helping with that.
00:07:11.900You know, you can't be helping with your brother's two kids because then there's going to be half of you in the future between you and your brother.
00:07:28.540What I'm saying is if you're a great uncle and you want to be stable in a population, so 2.1 is a stable fertility rate, so that means you would need to be a great uncle to a sibling with five kids.
00:09:06.820And there are ways that you can contribute to your community and make it easier for the people in your community who want to exist in the future.
00:09:13.820It is not for everyone to be a father or a mother.
00:09:16.820There are many ways we can contribute to the next generation.
00:09:19.820I just encourage people to think about that.
00:09:21.820Like, how can I contribute to my community instead of how can I, you know, chase the Joneses on, you know, TikTok and all these vanity marketplaces we have where we can pair ourselves.
00:09:31.820So you've just answered the question, bro.
