content: lmao that's exactly what I've been doing. I don't get to muse as much as I'd like, but I've been trying to figure out what my terminal goal is since humans' terminal goal clearly isn't as simple as "survival" (otherwise nobody would kill themselves) or "survival of your DNA" (otherwise everyone would want to have kids). I think the terminal goal of the first organic molecule, which was either RNA or protein (it's debated), was survival of that kind of molecule. Maybe our terminal goal is "prevent organic life from ever going extinct"?
