Fatherhood has been the single greatest blessing of my life. It did not suddenly make me care about not destroying the world, because I was deeply committed to civilizational safety long before having children. However, it has been wonderfully clarifying in terms of time management and purpose. It sharpens your focus on what aspects of human agency, creativity, and the natural world must be preserved as this technology unfolds.
