Responding to Conundrum, Again
This is a response to a video and blog post by Conundrum. I will insert blocks of text from his blog post and respond to them. He opens with: A response to videos by BlitheringGenius, where he to argues that reproduction is the only source of value and that those who do not reproduce are losers. I show major cracks in the foundation of his argument, which make it crumble to dust. Sounds exciting. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype. He is responding to the videos: Reproduction | Masturbation The Zen of Being an Entropy Tube I have offered a voice discussion/debate to Conundrum, but he has rejected it. Yes, I claim that reproduction is the biological purpose of life, and the ultimate source of value. Psychology is downstream from biology. Psychological desires get their normativity from emotions, and emotions are an evolved mechanism, which was selected to generate adaptive behavior. We can trace back all values to biology. Wi
