Mmmm no it’s not that simple, but it’s a long story. Last I heard he was presumed homeless.

Sorry, I shouldn't have projected my assumptions onto your particular story =)

We all project - I orginally interpreted "peacing out" as in "peacing out from the world", as in "dying".

I've had a similar experience with my biological mom.

Do you think humanity has ever been anything other than amoral and spiritually impoverished at the global level?

No. At the global level most ordinary people are decent and just want to make a living - from my anecdotal experience of the few places I've been. The rich and those who want to get rich are different (some of the rich are decent but not most of them)
I guess he decided raising his child would cut too much into his savings rates.
I don't disagree with his stance descriptively, but if we embrace it, it means committing ourselves to an amoral, spiritually impoverished future.
