I suspect I know science better than you think. Look up "Genetics For A New Human Ecology". While working on the follow up book "Strategy For A New Human Ecology". I couldn't find the answers I needed, I looked to philosophy and found more than I expected... in terms of biology.

I notice in your response about all that science provides, you never mentioned wisdom or understanding, which in the original essay, I said was the problem.

So, I study human survival, using ecology as my primary tool. When the issue of population decline in developed nations came up, it seemed like a natural question for my work. I would ask you the question I asked myself, "why go to the effort of having children"? Science has basically no answer and certainly none that are nearly as compelling as can be found in philosophy.

There's even one more thing along that line that philosophy offers, it can release instincts essential to human survival. Science simply cannot do that.

Science is good for creating wealth and power, understanding, far less.
