Ramana, if I was built to reproduce, then clearly my life has been a total failure. I much prefer the idea that the aim of life is to be happy. And that doesn’t necessarily include reproduction, as there are more than enough people reproducing as it is.
Nick, I am with you. Not everyone wants to or is able to reproduce, if they were able to do so, there would be no need for all the overpriced IVF treatment.
“Life is a sexually transmitted disease” is a witty line but I can’t agree life is a disease. War maybe. And as yet there’s no known cure for it, just a hell of a lot of suffering.
“I don’t think we’re an animal that was built to be happy; we are an animal that was built to reproduce.”

Nick, Helen Fisher is a formidable debater. Perhaps you should take it up with her! I am okay with your proposition, it is her thought!

That’s a particularly pessimistic thought for you GM.

Nick, life, at times can be a struggle. Sometimes a little struggling does us good, so long as we do not take it too seriously.
