What do we actually want? I’m just playing devils advocate, but do we actually want anything beyond satisfying our urges to eat and reproduce? Everything we do

What do we actually want? I’m just playing devils advocate, but do we actually want anything beyond satisfying our urges to eat and reproduce?
Everything we do, even artistic expression etc is about gaining status, which is ultimately about reproductive success.
If we take away the addictive parts of life, which are actually designed for our survival, maybe all our motivation is gone to do anything?
I don’t have any answers, but I feel these types of interventions might have huge unforeseen circumstances. I’m still not sure we’ve processed as a species how to handle contraception. We might be heading to massive population collapse because of it. This might be good or bad, I’m not judging, but it’s a massive change in our fundamental workings as a species.
