“READY TO BE A DAD” an essay by Lucas Werner I want to be a dad. I want to have children and be married. I didn’t want to be a father and a husband until 2 years ago when I was 36. Some say it’s a little late in life to consider starting a family. The science says the exact opposite. When a father my age has children it extends the telomeres of those offspring, giving those kids stronger DNA. This is confirmed by several dozen medical journal articles sponsored by the U.S. government. Not only am I a viable candidate for fatherhood from longer chromosome tips call telomeres in my reproductive cells, older fathers are statistically more caring. I am both biologically and psychologically well prepared to have children, perhaps more than when I was younger by the empirical findings. Science makes me want to become a father at the age that I am now. The science says I am in my prime to sire young, I am psychologically more prepared at this age to have kids and I feel a very overlooked medical condition is loneliness, so starting a family would ease my heartbroken sense of not having a place in this world like many other couples who are proud to have a family of their own through biology, psychology and experience. The science has been saying that I am at the prime of my life to start having children. I’m 38 years old. The research fascinates me. From what I had read for each year from 35 to 55 years old 17 base pairs are added to the ends of the offspring’s DNA. That means when I turn 39 this year and were to have children before 40, I would add 68 base pairs of DNA to my children’s DNA. Knowing that I would transfer great health, happiness, empathy, disease resistance and longevity into the world means that my child could end up doing great things to help humanity just by existing in it. Scientists have located the sector of empathy in the brain. It is within the right supramarginal gyrus of the cerebral cortex at the conjunction of the parietal, temporal and frontal lobes from whence compassion for others arises. Longer telomeres, the caps of the chromosome arms that are delivered from older fathers would, in fact, elongate in my offspring causing all parts of the body to function better, including the brain. There is a lot of myth surrounding older fathers about autism and mental illness that do not make sense. Older fathers yield 6 children out of 10,000 with autism. The national average is 1 out of 59 children with autism. Both autism and mental illness stem from shorter telomeres, which conduces that should I become a father, my children will have less chance of a brain disorder. Not only are 14 diseases on the rise in the United States, but older fathers have not been popular since before 1912. We then see from the evidence that biologically speaking I would be wise to become a dad at this age. I want to become a father at a gut personal level because I have a love of kids. I have read several studiers again that older fathers are more attentive and patient with their kids. Beetle fathers are a fine animal example that have been studied and it would be superfluous to conclude that my advancing age would be anything other than psychologically beneficial to my children. With age comes maturity. I certainly see more maturity in myself as I get older, along with a deeper understanding as I near middle age of how the world works and how the world could settle to improve. I think that impetus from cellular degradation in all parts of my body except my reproductive cells turns a person into a fine to quaff liquor through a certain kind of fermentation when the reproductive gametes add a vibrancy that comes from an analogous conversion of the genetic transferase from a raw milk into a fine cheese through new life as in a mold on Roquefort. There’s something about children now that I did not see before. They have an innocence and an honesty that I respect. I see children as anarcho-scientists. They’re free to be open minded and they constantly question everything. Sometimes that brings me to tears. I adore younger people for a great many reasons; their tenacity, their strength, their struggles. I think having kids would bring me in closer connection with 2 generations. My wife would have to be either a Millennial if older than 23 in 2018 or Generation Z herself and our children would be part of the tentatively titled Generation Alpha. Generation X has longer telomeres in the sperm cells while adult Generation Z has longer telomeres in the egg cells, putting younger women in symmetry with middle aged men. I think it’s important to bridge gaps and becoming an older father would bond different generations. Psychologically speaking, having children at this age would benefit them and myself greatly. I always was a lonely kid, but the past 6 years have been the worst, so I think having children and a wife will bring me further away from isolation from the human experience of family. I’ve been alone and single for 6 years. I see young couples with kids eveywhere. They’re adorable. My sense of jealousy drives me. 18 to 24 year old women have the highest meiotic spindle appearance in their oocytes, the cells that develop into ova within the uterine lining prior to pregnancy. That means 18 to 24 year old women are the healthiest for giving birth to children that are twice as likely to live ro 100 from stronger DNA. The long life is attributed to longer telomeres in the reproductive cells of young women. I feel knowledge is power because from my experience on OK Cupid, Plenty of Fish, Tinder and Bumble 18 to 24 year old women don’t want to date 35 to 55 year old men, which only increases my sense of dread. I lost my virginity at 27 to a woman my age that I had met on Plenty of Fish. 4 of my girlfriends were older than me and 4 were the same age. I’ve had 8 girlfriends. I think this is an ageist dilemma. I’m doing everything I can to change my life for the better. I’m now in college with the intent of becoming a doctor. I’m attending all my classes. I’m buying board games. I’m showing people respect. I don’t want to be lonely anymore. I’m sick of the greif. I lead an existence that is lacking in experience, yet full and rich as if to say, “Take me. I’m yours.” I have 3 solid reasons for wanting to experience fatherhood. Science states that my age puts me at a prime nature to have children, I’m psychologically prepared to have children and I feel starting a family will ease my tortured loneliness. It is important to note that race horses are bred stud to philly. Studs are horses after they’ve run their races, while phillies are young female horses. Silverback gorillas are middle aged like me. The silverback has 30 wife gorillas whom he protects and is protected by the females from coups from the young male gorillas. We see in seeding plants that the male gametes implant in the ground in the fall while the female gametes, pollen, are spread by pollinator animals like birds and bees in the spring. We look at the pattern of nature, The Golden Spiral found in spiral galaxies, orbits of planets around suns as these stars orbit the galactic core, floral and animal patterns alike, DNA, cloud formations and stock market trends are made up of The Fibonacci Sequence, which is a numerical series of gaps. We have long known that young women are best for offspring health. We now know middle aged men are also better for offspring health. I changed nieces and nephew diapers from the time I was 10 to 18. I know a thing or 2 about children. I’m trying to date. Ladies, you just have to give me a chance. The science is on our side. I am biologically, psychologically and experiencially prepared to become a dad.

Stolen Valor might be a good way to get through to people actually. It's like the difference between someone wearing a 'support the troops' piece of apparel and a person wearing a dress uniform with fake medals. Nobody is going to care about the former but the latter may be seen as a grave insult in some circles. Another thing people need to be wary about is gatekeeping things that aren't even relevant in their own culture. A white person screaming at another white person about cultural appropriation is sometimes taking that voice away from the group being appropriated.

https://twitter.com/JesseD316/status/1048828435836149760 quote:Hmm, I wonder what Stubblebine was like as an officer? quote:A key sponsor of the Stargate Project (a remote viewing project) at Fort Meade, Maryland, Stubblebine was convinced of the reality of a wide variety of psychic phenomena. He required that all of his battalion commanders learn how to bend spoons in the manner of celebrity psychic Uri Geller, and he himself attempted several psychic feats, in addition to walking through walls, such as levitation and dispersing distant clouds with his mind. Stubblebine was a key leader in the U.S. military invasion of Grenada (1983) and was, according to a report published by the Daily Mail, "at the heart of America's military machine" at that time. After some controversy involving the experiments with psychic phenomena, Stubblebine took "early retirement" from the Army in 1984. In addition to alleged security violations from uncleared civilian psychics working in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), Stubblebine offended then-U.S. Army Chief of Staff General John Adams Wickham, Jr. by offering to perform a spoon-bending feat at a formal gala; Wickham associated such phenomena with Satanism.
