It’s definitely not the goal of human life.
It that was all we cared about, e.g. we’d allow rape.
It’s _some_ peoples goals (respectable), and I imagine they also have others they balance.
The beautiful thing about humanity is that we are no longer bound by some of our basic biological drives. Sure they play a factor, but they don’t dominate.

- noodleman 4y agoUniversally rejected by all cultures is false. For example, India's penal code makes exceptions for men who rape their wives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country Lets not get into a debate over how legal abstractions cover up the reality of rape and sexual abuse, but keep in mind that rape is staggeringly underreported.
