No, they would not have asked that question, because literally 100% of their ancestors for millions of generations had children (or otherwise reproduced). That’s the default option.
- camillomiller 3y agoWhich reinforces my point. Reddit, an irrelevant blip in history is a stronger conditioning than millennia of “default option”?
- chr1 3y agoThe default option worked not by conscious thought but by desire for sex. Now we have found a way to decouple that from procreation, so people have to actually think, and they often end up choosing a path that leads to dead end.
- wiseowise 3y agoFor millions of generations there were millions of generations that came to another conclusion and didn’t procreate. And also your assumption that all those millions of generations that you’ve mentioned procreated willingly is false.
- RestlessMind 3y ago> ...that came to another conclusion and didn’t procreate and then they didn't survive for the next generation. If that is okay with a society, nature will simply replace that society with another one.
- wiseowise 3y agoNot necessarily. Civilization is built on knowledge of people who procreated and who didn't.
