As a 39 yo father of one, I have found a significant appreciation on your stated life purpose. I read these columns with deep interest because you bring an enormous amount of experience to my world. 6 kids, two countries, two families, one steadfast principled man trying his hardest to make the next gen better than himself. I even have a dozen essays in draft I only wrote because of the inspiration you gave on these pages to Eddie: any Man worth his salt expresses oneself in regular writing.
One of my hardest hitting moments was experienced through reading your words after Putin rolled into Russia, paraphrasing, you listed a list of family qualities that Putin promotes in complete hypocrisy. That on one hand, he has the right message, one that is correct and the western world gravely needs to hear and see the success of again, and then On the other hand, he plots to use violence to complete his (and by default all of Russia’s) vision for regional homogeny. Of course, the later trumps the former.
The paving on that path to hell and all... my point is that I realized your family/genome promoting values end up being all that matters. If you die without children who remember and celebrate your life and embody your values, then history forgets you entirely. It’s a selfish desire, but it’s the most powerful motivator humans have. Why do you think the leftists promote the opposite of reproduction?
Add on top of that an endless curiosity, the fact you sound exactly like other men 2x my age that I’ve befriended, and while you make mistakes, I look at it as your lifelong pursuit of learning. We don’t learn anything when we win. Sucks that we still have to fail to learn.
Just a comment on infer vs. imply (or in your case, use of the word inferring),
Imply means to suggest or to say something in an indirect way, while Infer means to come to a conclusion, especially based on an indirect suggestion.
You asked for a comment, so there it is. I wouldn't have mentioned it, if you hadn't asked.
I agree with your depopulation arguments. And like you, I have been thinking this is the most important issue of our time. Reorganizing society to increase the fertility rate will be a challenge, if not impossible.
Keep up the good work. I like your columns and you're doing a great job.
You are the guy for whom I am writing! Thanks.

I only just now found your personal Rumble page, the only other one was 'videos of my family'
The search engines don't make it easy. Go to rumble dot com and search on grahamseib.

Thanks. You are right and I have corrected it. Back in the day several folks would have snapped my garter on that one.
Thanks for the posts, Graham, and I'm always happy learning new vocabulary in your writing.
