Those names you listed are remembered because other people’s children learned to read, built universities, and carried forward civilization. Genius outliers don’t sustain societies. Normal people building families do.
Your exceptions don’t disprove the rule. They prove you’d rather optimize for being remembered than for actually mattering.
And yes, some face legitimate barriers. This wasn’t for them. It was for those hiding behind philosophy when they’re really just hiding from commitment.

"Marriage and family is essential for a full and happy life."
This is the original claim and it is false.
As someone who talks to people who have kids vs talking to Tesla, I'd rather talk to Tesla. Having Tesla's mind would be world changing. Would I give up my kids to have Tesla's mind? Of course not, but I don't have kids right now so I have nothing to give up. This is talk of oxytocin, not logic. Forget it Red, you will never get through to these people.
Yes it's for the greater good...
It’s honestly pretty simple, so I don’t get why people are arguing about it.
Being and experience are basically art. Art is always subjective and open to interpretation, and being works the same way. If you’re against subjective interpretation, you’re basically against free will. Some of you are trying to claim there are objective rules for what makes life meaningful or fulfilling, but we’re not machines. We’re human with endless forms of imagination, creativity and perspective. You could even call it a kind of quantum mind. In quantum physics there’s the no-cloning theorem, meaning information can’t be perfectly copied. Our experience is the same, it can’t be duplicated. Trying to force some predetermined definition of what life “
"should" mean goes against how the universe even works.
Instead of arguing nonstop, maybe just appreciate the fact that we get to choose. The truth doesn’t need anyone to agree with it. Bullshit does.
