Oh so this is the real reason you want a bunch of kids. Not that you really love kids or want to be a good parent but to continue your own genetic line. Look I get it its scary to think about death and how little value a person really has in the big picture. And to help compensate for that people like you have kids for no other reason than the mistaken belief they will be able to leave the world with a piece of themselves through their offspring. The thing I dont get is dont you realize in but a mere few generations your dna will make up but a tiny fraction of future descendants.
I disagree. The point is not to perpetuate one's DNA. That is a biological impossibility.
The point is to perpetuate one's mission, one's ideals. Life is too short to do all the things we would like to do, but if you pick a worthy mission, once you die, your children will carry on, and when they die, their children will carry on.
What matters is not what happens after death. What matters is what happens in your lifetime. If you live your life properly and prepare your children to be your successors, then you will conquer the fear of death.
Death won't matter, because succession is guaranteed (once your children are old enough). If death does not matter, you are free. You're living immortality while physically trapped in a mortal body. You have gone to Heaven, without leaving the Earth.
So, what is a worthy mission? You can build a company. Once you die, your sons inherit the company. If you raise your sons properly, they will cooperate, instead of fighting each other. So, your sons can earn a living without having to deal with HR human trash, interviews, and background checks. And they take most of the company's profit for themselves.
Teach your sons to game women. Tell them how to choose a wife. Watch them marry women of great genetic and moral quality (yes, they still exist in some parts of the world). Strive to improve your descendants' genetic quality via careful choice of husbands / wives, and improve their moral quality via old fashioned patriarchal values. In your old age, enjoy Christmas dinner in the company of your 10 children and their husbands / wives, and your 50 grandchildren. Watch the decadent SWPL'ers embrace careerism and self-extinction, while you populate your country with not mere copies of yourself, but better versions of yourself!
Your bloodline is on an ascending path. Perfection is the ultimate, yet unattainable goal. Your descendants' mission is to strive to reach the peak.
Congratulations! You have conquered life and death. Your job as a man is complete. You can now die in peace.
