this is some Genetic Hyrcanian Spring shit right here because generational ascendancy is possible but you have to believe in yourself as a tuple comprising an agglomeration of traits, one device for maximising the good traits and another device for creating situations where the bad traits become good.
your view of futurity should not be “i exist in the future as a singular descendant whom I live through”. my friend, this makes you an evil ghost.
your view should be that you pass into the Descendants, a group of people who are possessed by a pool full of blessed Lares, damned Larvae and middling Manes – that’s you.
