Interesting perspective from @yhazony. I wonder abt the counterargument: my experience of altruistic pple w/lives devoted to village/community were often childless (I recently funded to name a street named after one). Could absence of progeny make one feel more love of humanity? — PolitiTweet.org

Locke never had children. Neither did Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, or Kant. Rousseau had children but gave them all… https://t.co/rWTaqM9aC8

@yhazony 2) There is also the *aut liberi aut libri*. Catholificism seems to hold that perspective (celibacy is required to service humankind), Orthodoxy only partially (it limits celibacy higher up e.g. bishops), but Judaism and Islam prefer clerics to have descendants. — PolitiTweet.org
