And after they could not feed themselves, but are fed to grow more, will they be able to feed by themselves? And the next generation to the next generation and so on? And this has been going on not for years but millenia, right? And at some point I will not have to exchange my growth for their growth, particularly since I am supposed to leave only two children behind and that s it. Because they would not grow more than I can grow that feed them, ever.
