I can't tell if you're just teasing us because of the topic/responses and you are conducting some kind of experiment to prove some kind of point - or - you are telling the truth.
That smirk from Pres. Putin doesn't really clarify the matter for me.
If you are telling the truth. Congratulations! :static:

Physically we complete the gestalt. For instance, there is a hole in our vision but it is invisible to us because we complete the gestalt.

And there is a hole in our psyche which we can't see because we complete the gestalt.

So we perceive in wholes, we perceive in gestalts.

And we deeply resent anyone who points out the holes in our gestalts.

So we don't need to reproduce to feel complete, our whole unconscious is devoted to showing us a complete world.

We now know this is an incomplete picture, and we are constantly repainting the picture to make it complete.

So we will never know that we are complete, right Mole? We can feel more whole, but that's it.

Sure, as we learn new things, we integrate them into what we know and feel. So we feel a little satori of completeness every time.

In the light of our conversation, I had an unworthy thought that you were using pregnancy as an act of emotional aggression.

But I thought no, that really is an unworthy thought, no one would be so low and cheap to use pregnancy, the arrival of new life, to emotionally attack me. But I was wrong.

This is how some (perhaps more than is palatable) legitimate pregnancies are used. Or the act of having and raising children in general.

A status and a thinly veiled authoritarianism disguised as concern for the child's well-being. But ironically this form of parenting and life giving can only harm.

No, even the Catholic has something called states of life and some people are called to be single for life. I think you can live a full life without kids.

Natural selection has seen to it there are always a number of us without children. This is because those without children help the tribe adapt. And natural selection does not operate at the level of the individual, but rather at the level of the tribe.

This is why extreme individualism, while flattering our vanity, is misleading.

I would hate to be famous because images like that would probably be taken of me with the caption 'Did she just eat a lot again, or is she having a baby?' 100% the former.
