I know Steve's site is all about finding your purpose, living consciously etc. However, is all that just a distraction, just something to drown out the emptiness we feel, from the realisation that we are all alone in this world? And our only true purpose is to procreate?
On a biological and evolutionary level, yes. Survival baby, that's what dating, sex, and most of what life is about. But now since we're at a stage where we don't have to worry about this, a lot of our suvival instincts actually hinder our lives. We're outdated, plain and simple.
