Love. Laughter. The Lord. Longevity. Success.

The L word is "Legacy" or "Professional Legacy"

What's a good time to put down a book you'll never finish?

There's importance, and there's importance. If having them makes a difference? No. If having them teaches you to love? Yes.

How important is it to RAISE kids? (Culture)

Again.

If humans could add years to life by eating babies, would it be wiser for me to eat other peoples children and let mine live or to fight for a world where we only eat our own children? In the first case, it would be theoretically possible to erect a worldwide SNOWBALL138 genetic empire, but in the second case, I would only be one of billions of immortal humans.

You're reading a book that you can never finish. For every page, you assume the end has come, but every page suggests another that follows seamlessly.

You read the first page. When do you want to stop reading?
