Quoted By:
- The birth of children by parents is motivated in 99% by selfishness, lust and narcissism of parents who are also looking for some form of immortality through you, through copying genes. And very, very rarely, parents leave you their archival business. If you were born ugly and poor - kiss dad with mom gratefully.
- Art (cinema, video games, romantic books) is an attempt to distract a person from the pain of being and from failures in sexual selection, reflection and melancholy. Or vice versa, chanting sexual selection (modern rapper (I fucked your chick), some types of metal, fighting songs of American Indian shamans (we will kill your tribe and capture the females).
- our reality, the reality of this Universe, is a very cold, ruthless and cruel world of chaos, where culture, food, sex, technology, science, laws, authorities are things that barely protect us from the horror of the original. First of all, all of the above protects us by closing our eyes to the device of this reality. Robots/AI is next step of evolution.
