I might go back on my previous going back, and redefine the importance of questions: that the enjoyment of the faculty of thinking is, at least for people in good circumstances, more important than questions about genetic fitness. There are very few things I could think about which will seriously affect my ability to reproduce (already done), make money (self-employed), survive (live in a safe area), or raise my children (they are already smarter than I am, and one's only 4).
