      100s of millions of people watch Leonardo DaVinci’s Mona Lisa every year. Would you rather be remembered for your art, or have 12 kids who have 12 kids each?

      How many people know anything about or even the names of their great grandparents. That's no way to be truly known by future generations.

      The point is who cares about being known, when you can have flesh and bone versions of yourself running around.

      That is a valid form of remembrance but totally different from the kind people have of da Vinci which was the context of the question.

      We are not our art or our name, but our ability to create art and names. Our children embody that ability. A painted, named, piece of linen does not.

      A. We are both our names and creations. B. Be real. Children get their genes from both parents then add in life experience. How many talented people's kids have their same abilities.

      Adult IQ has a heritability of 80%. Talent runs in families, like it or not.

          That may be true, but I think the output is what counts most. Millions of geniuses sleeping in today will wake up to tweet about their grievances.
