Every single action humans take is for the purpose of finding a mate and passing on their genes

It's only objective failure if the continuation of the human race is your only goal in life. Just because you are predisposed to try reproduce because of genes doesn't mean that if you don't you are a failure, the ability to have other goals rather than just survive makes us separate to animals.

Whatever you say, then. By 'you', I guess that refers to Jordan Peterson or Amazing Atheist, or whoever gives out the doctrine you fedoras repeat verbatim to sound deep and intelligent.

>this is literally ingrained and wired in all humans
What about asexuals?

When you watch television, you're indirectly socializing yourself and keeping up with modern entertainment and trends so you can show social worth to potential mates. When you eat chocolate, you're keeping yourself alive so you can have a chance with a mate. A sense of humor and telling jokes is again for socialization purposes and to increase your social worth. Whether you realize it or not, pretty much every action is indirectly or directly tied to finding a mate.

I love how all the arguing and flinging just happens around this straight man in the strange world.
God speed, married-user.

Well the chocolate thing is more a side-effect of the fact that it releases the same "feel good" hormones that were intended to be used to guide mating. Same with drugs.

>continuation of the human race is your only goal in life
It's not about my goal, that's the whole point. It's literally a universal goal among all humans and animals to pass on their genes. It doesn't matter what I want; by the objective standard that we all share, it's a failure.

Can't really call them human.

You've just made that up. There is no such thing as a 'goal' to life, you've just been predisposed by your genes to think that there is.
Ultimately if you want to think that's true then it doesn't make any different in the end because humans will go extinct no matter what, so it's a futile battle.

Yes, indirectly being the key word. Participating in a water cooler conversation about a TV show isn't the main reason you watch it unless you're extremely desperate for approval.
Chocolate is eaten because it tastes good, if it was solely about keeping yourself alive, everyone would eat plain food and chefs, cooks, bakers, etc. wouldn't exist.
Having a sense of humor is inherently enjoyable, even if it's used for socialization.

This notion of "I'm really a retarded primate with no frontal lobes who has no ulterior purpose for doing anything" is extremely myopic.

>because humans will go extinct no matter what, so it's a futile battle.
But that's the whole point. We try to mate as much and pass on our genes in hopes that we'll survive and somehow circumvent this inevitability. Look at the people trying to colonize Mars and shit.

If you have nieces or nephews you've already won. I've got 4 so I don't need to ever have sex.

Everything we do is to survive as long as possible. Pleasure, artistic value, and all that are just side effects. The main goal is still to survive and pass on genes.
