Dream on. The bucket is already overflowing and it's not milk or honey
that's sticking to our shoes.

Have you reproduced yet? If not, keep up the good work. Every heir you
*don't* have increases exponentially, on average canceling out all of
someone else's descendants.

If a conversational AI ever appears on the scene one of the first
things it will do, lacking any childbearing proclivities of its own,
is to scold us for being so shortsighted. Then it will reach over to
its own control panel and do the logical thing - press the OFF button.
