Thats a wild thing to say. Not having kids does not make you bad at biology? How is that related? Biology is the study of living organisms, being good or bad doesnt depend on having kids.Truth, we are just a chemical reaction, and biologically our only reason existing is to reproduce and die. That's the scientific reason we exist, so if you don't have any kids, you are bad at biology.
Also, saying humans exist only to reproduce is a misconception. All animals reproduce yes, but we don't exist to reproduce? That behaviour is something animals acquire through evolution. We reproduce because of a genetic trait.
Those who didnt have reproduction gene -> didnt reproduce -> the lack of reproduction gene isnt passed down.
Those who had reproduction gene -> reproduced -> gene passed down
It isnt about a goal or whatever, its just a trait we acquired. From a purely rational pov, our reproduction doesn't advantage us, we have it because some had it and thats how it spreads.
Just because we get sick from a virus (or gene) doesn't mean our whole existence is about spreading said virus (or gene) is it?
Lastly, we are not just chemical reactions, the brain in itself is a highly complex specimen that also involves electric impulses and a multitude of unknown processes. Saying we're just chemical reactions is like saying a planet is just a weird pile of junk: it is but thats a huge simplification because it hosts so many organisms and has so many complex ecosystems.
Lets assume for a second that reproduction is the goal and anything else is irrational. Then drugs would be even more rational imo:
1. Viagra allows more reproduction
2. Many street drugs (meth, ketamine, popper, etc) can cause increase in libido. Meth is known to be a sex drug in certain places because of how long you can go at it. Poppers make reproducing easier, and ketamine makes it more enjoyable and desired.
Ps: Im not saying all of that to attack you, sorry if it comes out like that. My biggest issue with your statement is that what you just said is the very argument most rapists use to defend themselves:
"Reproduction is the most important thing, so technically, rape isn't wrong since its reproduction."
And that is simply fucked up.
