I guess my take on it is that I want to make sure the bloodline survives. Even if I get screwed, separated, denied by the children themselves or our name becomes lost to the four winds I will know that the genetical data my countless ancestors refined will carry on and our essence shan't be lost by me at least...
I understand that urge, but it's ego talking. Your genetics will become diluted with each successive generation. How much of your great grandfather do you have within you? His father? etc. etc. What if you have kids but they turn out to be totally different than you, do things you might not want or like? Or, worse, are put through the ringer that is the current system. I honestly feel guilty bringing children into any Western country, but I'm not glamoring life in other places either. This is a time of real Crisis, the Fourth Turning is right-on, and I would be focusing on resource gathering, time/money/energy management, and protecting oneself in as many ways as one can. The evidence as to why is all around us. I'm optimistic, but not naive.
Passing on one's genes is a pipe dream and one that no doubt pushed many men into intentional or accidental fatherhood and the inevitable unhappiness that ensues, whether or not you go through the steps Paracelsus brilliantly outlines below.
I had to come to peace with this desire and realize that the only way I could leave a mark on the world was to help others and to create something that is uniquely mine. I'm in the process of doing that. I'm early 40s, and have been building this 'child' for over 10 years. I love it, I anthropomorphize it, I struggle with it, and I'm proud of it. This is my 'campaign' as Roosh has said, my biggest campaign. It's audacious, ambitious, and totally engrossing to me. It's going to make a difference in the world - already is, but only a more individual basis with my customers.
Please consider a scenario - you're simply unable to have children on your own. Pretend by whatever means you just can't. Nothing you can do about it. Adoption would defeat the purpose of passing on your genes. So now, considering that, what would you do with your life?
It's honestly a bitter pill for me to swallow, but here's my take on this. I feel I'm still in my best working and creative years. I've got drive, determination, minimal distractions, and have been taking a break from actively pursuing women to focus on this campaign. I'm gathering resources and watching what's happening in the world around me. Listen and watch twice as much as I speak. I'm also taking care of my body and mind, so if at some point I've decided I'm willing to move to a place where I have a better chance to have children and not be wrung through the western-style divorce system, I may do that. But that's probably 10 years off or more. But who knows what will happen in the world tomorrow, so I can't bank on that.
With the current systems and prejudices in America and any Western country, getting married and having kids is certain suicide by more than a dozen different and unknowable ways.
The analogy of modern marriage to playing with matches while drenched in gasoline needs to be memed!
