What is life’s true purpose if not to procreate?

We, as human beings, have come a long way, but in that journey we’ve lost something primal; something that is almost always covered up and swept under the rug, and is only evident in our most vulnerable times. It is the fact that we are biological beings.

Meaning, we feel, we ache for nature’s gifts, and that is not limited to food only. As modernity takes over and we circumvent our way through society, lying to our instinct is perhaps the greatest sin we can commit.

Therefore, when one of us slips up (amazingly, mostly the rich), we all gang up on him, maybe spewing moral expectations, societal constructs or just by judging how he is “supposed to” act.

I, on the other hand, do not have any issues seeing Musk’s 24 children, or Gates’s fifth girlfriend, or Nvidia’s CEO’s latest Chinese spy/girlfriend. Why? Because what more is to be expected from people who have billions?

Why has Elon done what he has done? Is it just because he likes building cool things? Maybe, or is it because there is a deep desire to leave something tangible behind? If “deepness” is to be believed here, then their shallow pursuit of meaning through women shouldn’t be a mystery either.

As animals, biology dictates that we spread, by whatever means necessary. The cave man wouldn’t venture out if he didn’t need food, and he would certainly not travel continents if he were content with his wife at home.

And it is their pursuit of being satisfied that we must respect in the first place. The gaping hole of wanting more is what drives their innovation, and amazingly, no matter the billions they earn or the social status they gain, it is just another pretty woman who comes to fill that void.

Extraordinary, isn’t it? What would David Attenborough’s deeply god-like voice make of such a species?

“The human, an exemplary creature, is always seen competing, and those who seem to have made it, still long for the basic things that excite its most primal achings.”

Read it in a British accent, it’ll sound very deep.

These men, loaded and ambitious, must be appreciated. For they have not bogged down their lives to meet societal standards of monogamy or fidelity.

And who are we to expect such of them?

Are we billionaires? No. Would we ever get more than one female’s attention in our lives? Even one probably is too high a number to speculate.

So why would we judge them for what they are able to do? Monogamy for them is similar to shackles, holding them back just to portray a lie, while monogamy or self imposed morality for us are the only things we hang on for dear life, knowing full well loneliness is the alternative. 

Moral virtues are nothing but a tool for the weak to justify their own shortcomings, while it is for the rich to decide what they themselves want to consider “amoral”. Because unlike us, they have the luxury to explore, to expand, and to spread from continent to continent, for they will never be content with their wives.
