I am curious if you are able to think on non-selfish anything?

> Often, it's said having a child is an act of selflessness

Nonsence. It is what it is. Anything you say that is not gonig to explain animal and other forms or life is invalid.

> Adopting a child is the most selfless thing you can do

Compensation, so no.

> The OP's blog post is surmising it's because we procreate to achieve some tangible sense of immortality
