It's pointless because the machine is going to rage on no matter WHAT we think. You can do your part in this microscopic blip of a lifetime by not having any children, but when you die... it's my belief you're coming right back and you may not make the same decision next time. Who knows??

And youth is wasted on the young.
We are programmed to seek sex/reproduction at a young age because that's when we're the DUMBEST. That's when we're the most NAIVE. The time in our lives when we have the LEAST WISDOM.
How sick is that? This is the same reason older men prey on younger women... because it's programming. The men are slaves to their reproductive programming, and young women are dumb enough to fall into the trap. Men go for younger women because younger women are just dumb enough. In fact, to these cavemen who go around preying on younger women, intelligence is a turn-off. They need to be as dumb as possible. And thanks to social media and programming in the media in general... they just get dumber and more obsessed with being attractive. It's a perfect, sick, sad, sorry system. And I hate to say it... but those who fall into the trap? I don't feel sorry for them. They should have rubbed some braincells together and tried to CONTEMPLATE EXISTENCE.
