“X maintains we are at the end of a "cosmic cycle" and that soon everything will fall apart. And he does not doubt this for one moment.
At the same time, he is the father of a--numerous--family. With certitudes like his, what aberration has deluded him into bringing into a doomed world one child after the next? If we foresee the End, if we are sure it will be coming soon, if we even anticipate it, better to do so alone. One does not procreate on Patmos.”

“Many will be tempted to assess the quality of a life simply by subtracting the disvalue of life’s negative features from the value of its positive features. That is to say, they will assign values to quad-rants (1) and (2) in my schema, and then subtract the latter from the former. However, this way of determining a life’s quality is far too simplistic.”
