    have we really (have we moved on to consuming instead?)? We like to believe we have, and so the people with the best qualities (aka most intelligent, athletic and beautiful people) no longer or barely reproduce and we are uncapable of surviving (most of us in the west anyway) if we are put outside our comfortable little appartments...

    we still don't know what we're doing here... beside the obvious, reproduction (to ensure the survival of the species) and to maintain the balance of the ecosystem...

    needless to say we suck at both...

    Bah, speak for yoursself!

    As for me, I have found the meaning of life - it's enjoyment and pleasure. Get as much of it as possible. Reproduction? Hah! If I have kids, it'll probably one that should've been a wet stain on the bed...

    Enjoyment and pleasure probably equal happiness to most people....... And uh reproducing is a happy event. As is surviving.

    Not reproduction itself, that leads to sleepless nights, anxiety, stress and all sorts of unhappiness. The act which was meant to lead to reproduction though.... As for surviving.... Let's swap it around, will you be unhappy if you stop surviving? How will you know?
