I am over 30. I do not want offspring and feel that social pressure should not make you want a baby as well. Yippie!

Most people love being parents, but for most people parenting is also too expensive and exhausting and isolating. If society were better for families, more people would love the experience. Humans did not evolve to parent in nuclear families, it is a huge psychological burden to not raise children with a group of other adults doing almost as much as the parents themselves do. People with money can minimize the stressors.

You are correct in your assessment. No kids therefore we get to do what we want when we want wherever we want. I have other friends with kids and without kids. Guess which friends I just spent two weeks on vacation with.

That’s a great question. I have no idea. I am 46 with no kids and do not want to change it whatsoever.

Yes, it's real! In 1966, a man named Stelarc wanted to grow an extra ear for a very absurd reason…

His intentions were to create a third ear in his arm, as a listening device for people in other places. They'd be able to follow his conversations, hear the sounds of a concert, or the hustle-bustle of a city. Wherever Stelarc was, you were with him.

Years later, his dream became a reality! A team of surgeons only recently, implanted a prosthetic ear-shaped scaffold, inside his arm. Within six months, tissue and blood vessels had developed around the structure.

From there, a mini microphone was added which unfortunately, created an infection. Stelarc now intends to replace this feature with a new wireless unit, that will transmit audio to the internet and be trackable by GPS.

This...

This one always creeps me out.
