3) Also statistically, given that the average progeny ~2.2, with some having >12 children, the majority of people MUST have been childless (from child mortality) owing to such high skewness. — PolitiTweet.org

@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

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

Never underestimate the psychopathy of young to middle age losers who spent time on the internet monoculturing with other losers. Covid killed >21m, > 1.1 in the US and offers no herd immunity; so if it weren't for vaccines, I can't imagine what would have happened. Psychos. — PolitiTweet.org

The tragedy of politics. Instead of having policies 51% left & 49% right (which is optimal & satisfy total preferences), one gets outcomes that are 100% right OR 100% left. At the parliamentary level, these may wash out. But there is no large of large numbers for Prez elections. https://t.co/QbXhlyKwY5 — PolitiTweet.org

6) The friend is grateful but is asking more questions. He now wonders whether dual flat-SPD clips work well with long-distance road bikes. (They clip on on side, are flat on the other). It looks like there is no dual for the road clips. https://t.co/hGHc7Jlpwy — PolitiTweet.org
