Come on now. There's the whole 'civilization' thing, and hospitals, and Bach, and Led Zeppelin, and eating with a fork... you can go on and on. Culture is more than politics.

The culture will go without me badly enough. I don't feel that I contribute to it in a meaningful way, even less that I had any say on how things were.

You're going to have a disasterous time if you discover you are infertile.

You might want to develop a different ideology to help you cope in that event.

The CD suggests that male fertility problems are not rare.

> Many couples struggle with infertility and seek help to become pregnant; however, it is often thought of as only a women’s condition. A CDC study analyzed data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth and found that 7.5% of all sexually experienced men younger than age 45 reported seeing a fertility doctor during their lifetime—this equals 3.3–4.7 million men. Of men who sought help, 18% were diagnosed with a male-related infertility problem, including sperm or semen problems (14%) and varicocele (6%).
