- CamperBob2 14y agoAs a subtle rhetorical way to suggest that OP should maybe get over himself. Our purposes aren't objective. They are ours to choose, as individuals. Other animals may live only to propagate their genome, but as humans, our societies appear to function best when we convince ourselves that we're here to accomplish things other than reproduction alone.
