=== Passing On Genes (01:55) ===

[00:00:01]  If I achieve just one thing in life, what should it be?
[00:00:05]  Now, it tells you a lot about modern America, that that's even a question.
[00:00:12]  No person, certainly no man, in the previous, say, 15,000 years would have asked, what should I achieve in life?
[00:00:19]  There's really only one objective in life, and that's reproduction.
[00:00:24]  Pass on your genes so you don't become extinct.
[00:00:28]  They're called, in our culture anyway, children.
[00:00:31]  And then one hopes they mate and have grandchildren.
[00:00:36]  And that makes you the patriarch of a clan and gives meaning to your life.
[00:00:42]  So in other words, you could spend your entire life working for Deutsche Bank, which is obviously pointless and destructive of the social order, and you probably wouldn't feel good about that.
[00:00:50]  But if you had a bunch of kids, you would still win because you're passing on your genes.
[00:00:56]  You're fulfilling your core destiny, which is to reproduce.
[00:01:00]  Let me put it another way.
[00:01:01]  Next time you read about someone who's got like 27 arrests and he's been arrested for some horrible crime and he's a complete ne'er-do-well, if not menaced, study.
[00:01:11]  George Floyd, for example.
[00:01:13]  Find out how many kids that person has.
[00:01:15]  So you're reading the paper or some website and you're judging this guy.
[00:01:17]  He's never had a job.
[00:01:18]  He's got 27 drug arrests and he finally shot someone.
[00:01:21]  Damn those Soros prosecutors!
[00:01:23]  And I agree with you 100%.
[00:01:25]  But push a little more deeply into his background, and I'd be willing to bet my late model car that he's got more kids than you.
[00:01:33]  So who's really ahead?
[00:01:35]  You or George Floyd?
[00:01:38]  You or the guy with 27 drug arrests?
[00:01:41]  The guy with 27 drug arrests, if he's got more kids than you, he wins.
[00:01:46]  Because in the end, that's how we tally the race.
[00:01:50]  By reproduction.
[00:01:55]  Get to it.
[00:01:56]  Have some pups.
