I think there are better ways to do that than invasion and conquest.

Well said. Your example is particularly valid for neolithic, agrarian cultures. The only mitigating factor was a relatively high population density that enlarged the potential gene pool.

The risk of inbreeding is also very problematic for Paleolithic cultures where the population density is much lower. The increased mobility of hunter gatherers only partially offset the disadvantage of low population density. Intermarriage between clans helped some. Many primitives such as the Inuits employed other cultural adaptations including an encouragment of limited promiscuity to mix the gene pool. Unfortunately; this also encouraged a high homicide rate.

Both paleolithic and neolithic cultures had a habit of granting enhanced breeding priveledges to lone males who could survive on their own to tracel great distances. They were perceived to be better adapted than more sedentary males.

Hence the genetic, cultural and social precedent for TFLYTSNBN European insemination tour.

I haven't yet heard anything about you taking responsibility for any progeny you may have spawned. But I guess taking responsibility for your actions isn't very high on your agenda considering the nature of your statement.

It is normal for Swedish women to cohabitat for prolonged periods and delay marriage until well after they have children.

Sweden is also a socialist paradise which offers lavish support for unwed women with children.

Who am I to forgo the opportunity to procreate and have putative men such as yourself work to support them either directly by being married to a woman that I seduced or by paying confiscatory taxes?

You didn't answer the question, but I didn't expect you would either.

And by your reasoning you shouldn't complain about migrants coming to the US an availing themselves to the social benefits they can get there which are paid by your taxes.
