[mike-zed]

I’ve managed to propagate a new generation of little mike-zeds. Who carry my genetic material and their mother’s, possibly mutated somewhat, but free to propagate their own offspring.

No tragic mutations killing off me, my kids, my family, or anyone I know.

Perhaps people are mutating and dropping dead in your circle at a rate which prevents their propagation. Hopefully, not.

I was attempting to get to the heart of your reasoning in calling the article “pabulum and strawmen’. It appears that from your own experiences, having children that will presumably do so also, even with mutations, you reach your conclusion.

I don't think anywhere in the article it was stated that people were dropping over around us from mutations around us. But is that all?
