And yet, natural selection nevertheless seems to allow for folks like me, in whom the urge to reproduce doesn’t seem especially salient (well, either that, or my genes are profoundly confused about how that’s supposed to work).
So who knows? Perhaps there’s a minority out there with internal coherence, as well.
Under the principle that systems with resolvable drives don’t propagate their genes as readily?
Under the unverified off-the-top-of-my-head hypothesis, yes :-)
If you can think yourself out of the urge to reproduce, that selects against being able to think that well.
Heh.
