the project of all the housework, the goal if you will, is to produce children. that’s the product of all this work.
and perhaps that has a negative net value to society.
like an enterprise that tans leather and dumps lots of toxins and destroys a river. they made some leather, yeah, but on balance, the value to society was negative.
making more people isa negative, probably at this point in time, at least from my negative perspective on the earth’s carrying capacity, global warming our general impending demise.
we should probably be PAYING for the right to reproduce. or taxed on it anyway.
so Im not persuaded that this venture of producing raising and caring for children is worth antyhing, to society at least. it’s obviously worth something to each of us, as we wouldnt do it if we werent into it.
