I don't have any extractable meaningful points of my existence. I just
want to achieve immortality the Woody Allen way: by not dying.
Having a kid or mentoring a young person is entirely orthogonal to that
basic desire. It is basic, since it is irreducible to a series of
deductive steps. It is anchored purely in emotion, and hence doesn't need
to be explained.
