    Should people be ineligible if they are born infertile? We could say that we probably won't have enough younger people to take care of the older people as birth rates decrease, but…

    44% isn't a high divorce rate? It is higher than it has been ever in our history. 6% away from flipping a coin that your marriage will fail. No thanks. The proportion of children b…

    Upbringing is much less important for development than genetics? No. Single mothers who raise kids in poverty with no father figure raise more daughters who have more kids without …

    What's wrong with valuing yourself? The world owes you nothing and you are the only person who is responsible for your own well being and happiness. Be wary of friendships which ar…
