> legacy lmao tell me your great grandfathers first name in less than 5 seconds.  whats that? cant do it? thats only three generations removed from you, and you dont even know his name, let alone anything else about him. hes already forgotten by his own family, even more so by everyone else.  don't get me wrong, legacy is definitely a thing. men certainly can leave behind important things (ideas, impact, inspiration, etc). but a mans lasting legacy has nothing to do with your name or your children. the idea of a genetic legacy is a complete myth. this isnt ancient fucking rome. no one will remember you, by name, beyond 60 years of your death, including your descendants. you will be lost to history like literally 99.9% of humanity.  any man associating his legacy with his children has been seriously misled about what a legacy is.
