Build the Ark

In a tribal society people would benefit from both the number of progeny and the quality of their upbringing.
If today's dysfunctional council house families had to live on what their offspring would contribute to the world of the future, they couldn't. If you breed ten chavs, you've got ten dependents for life. But then never fear, they can leech off somebody else. As Obama put it to Joe the Plumber, "It's better when you spread the wealth around." The kids earnings too. Maybe we need an Ark. The Ark, come to think of it, was an act of self-insurance by people who saw danger coming when nobody else would. Not that nobody else could; just that nobody else would. -- Belmont Club » A Comment About Childhood'sEnd
