>since humans have 2^32 base pairs in their genomes, and only about half of a person's genes are passed on in reproduction, this means that a person's genes will be more or less completely flushed out of his descendants' genomes after 32 generations

What exactly does this mean? There will not be a trace of myself left 32 generations from now and I shouldn't care about what happens to humanity after then?

But you, and every human capable of doing useful work, are capital. The most important kind of capital, for that matter. High quality human capital gets you Japan; low quality human capital gets you Papal New Guinea.

Any system of economic & social organization that does not recognize this is doomed to failure.
