Winning in Gene Pool War

In My Humble Opinion
1

I remember a story when a communist leader brought her Mom to his place. She ate expensive caviar, driven in Limo, stay in expensive hotel with gold plated bath. She told her son, “Good for you, but what about if the commies win.”

I chuckle. That sucker commies. They don’t know that some people will be successful anyway. It’s just that not all people can be rich honestly. When winning (=rich) is illegal (in communist countries) then the winners are cheaters.

Latter, I learn that the purpose of life, according to science is to reproduce. I would like to honor my great great great … 100000000…th ancestor, a 1 cell organism, that, without failing, have managed to produce lots of unbroken chain of successful reproduction, ended up in me.

My plan was:

  1. Make a lot of money. Capitalism allow all of us to achieve this.
  2. Attract and sleep with many pretty women. If I have 1 billion dollars and prostitution were legal, this is obviously not a problem. Even if prostitution were illegal, it’s not as tough as you see because women like bling bling which 1 billion dollar can afford.
  3. Make many kids.
  4. Support those kids through college, give them $1 million to start over.

Obviously all these are consensual and hence victimless. Well, in a sense, at least. If all billionaires are like that, then many males won’t get laid ever but we don’t count uncompetitive people as victims do we?

Wallmart control the whole market share in discount store and drive everyone else away is OKAY under free market. The same way so what if rich males giving more attractive offer to millions of women and drive the rest extinct? That’s just how free fair competition work.

I soon see problems with this plan.

  1. I can’t just pay women for sex. There are only 2 ways to lawfully get laid. Free sex when women do it for free. And then marriage where I might lost half of my earning and future earning to someone I mutually hate. Also marriage must be monogamous. That sucks.
  2. Make many kids? Hmm… Some nobel prize winner managed to do it by donating sperms. Maybe I’ll try that.
  3. Supporting those kids. Well this comes the problem. I’ve heard that the law on child support is that the amount must be proportional to your income. So no matter how rich we are, we cannot afford 1000 kids. Also court says that you cannot make an agreement with women that your child support should not be, say, more than $10k per month, for example. The judge says that the right of the non existent child must be protected (court case?). Wow… So much for pro choice abortion right I guess.

Just like in communist countries, a bunch of prejudice are placed to justify laws against “success”. In communist countries we are falsely told that those who make money are stealing and hurting the economy. Now, religious bigot tell that prostitution, porn, and sex outside marriage are hurting women (despite consensual).

Are we like the commies? Is getting successful in gene pool is only reserved for those who cheat? Now I see why wealth, mere wealth, don’t bring much happiness.

What’s your opinion? Is it worthy to bug Cecil about it?

    Actually there are countries and areas in the US where prostitution is legal, so you can buy a little nookie.

Sperm banks are a great idea. If you have lots of money, then you can make deposits in a lot of different countries and cities so you have kids everywhere.

Unless things are whacked, you dont pay child support on kids made by sperm donation.

If you are muslim or perhaps other religions, more than one wife is legal, and depending on the country, I think you can send the wife back with a legal divorce and keep the kids. I know that some African kinglet has an obscene number of wives and kids …

Are you sure that you want to win in the gene pool war? There’s nothing in it for you other than a sense of satisfaction (Unless you expect children to bear the burden of caring for you in old age. Then lots of kids is a good thing).

But the real downside is the problem of too much success. If you have lots and lots of kids all over the place, the risk of inbreeding is increased. It may be a drop in the bucket, but mathmatically, every child you have will increase the chance of your descendants mating. If not now, then in later generations.

Marriage must be monogamous? Since when?

I think you skipped the first part of the problem with your plan, figuring out how to make your boatloads of money. While capitalism does, indeed, give us all the opportunity to do this, it by no means guarantees we will all do this. Some of us, in fact, fail rather spectacularly at this.

Unless, of course, you’ve already somehow become a bazillionare, then, by all means, proceed with your plan to populate the earth.

Here’s my suggestion:

  1. Find some third world country where polygamy is legal.

  2. Go there and offer women $1000 to marry you + $50 per month in child support if they bear your child.

  3. Enjoy for as long as you can until the local thugs kill you.

Or you could try to become the leader of a cult

Absent the conditions of a population bottleneck, your best efforts to dominate the gene pool are mathematically doomed to failure. Even if you manage to spawn twenty children, what is that, really, in a world with a population of over six billion?

Nope, for really successful projection of genetic egotism, you need a large side order of genocide. That’s what Genghis Khan did when he depopulated and reseeded vast swaths of Mongolia, Siberia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe:

Step One: Kill all the men!
Step Two: Round up all the young, attractive females! And maybe even a few of the young but ugly ones…?
Step Three: Take all these women as concubines/wives [really, rape them repeatedly] until they’re all preggers, and then…
Step Four: Profit!
Step Five: Move on to the next village, rinse and repeat.

Well, yes you can - you just can’t admit that’s what you are doing. A woman who goes to bed with you because of all the “gifts” you give her is a prostitute, but is a legal prostitute because neither of you admit that she is, and because it’s more expensive. Anti-prostitution laws are effectively a price support for male-female sex as anything else IMCO. ( In My Cynical Opinion )
