you won't beleive this. i wrote a massive fuckign post responding to your points and pressed some hotkey and my browser went back a page and it was lost. i want to smash my computer screen.

i'll give you the key notes summary:
- consider the fact evolution is a continual process that won't end because you choose not to reproduce. it is a spontaneous process which has no end goal, making the idea of a teleological purpose in relation to evolution paradoxical.
- i guarantee most of the people in that study weren't relying on having children to fulfill them by some strange and obscure evolutionary mechanism. they had children because (hopefully) they loved somebody and wanted children. evolution or their evolutionary purpose never entered their mind
- all lineages eventually die out, making arguments about 'carrying on a lineage' pointless
- if you "fail" to reproduce, who suffers and why?

i like this quote from kubrick as a loose starting point which doesn't need materialist conditions to be true.
