Any books about how the need for sex, family, friends, etc. are actually not real and just nature tricking us into wanting to reproduce?

Don't deny who you are, what you are. You were born to dwell, to be, to love and hate.

Sure, I meant books that touch on the philosophical implications of this.

Needs aren't real period, anon. You don't need anything unconditionally. You need food to live, but you don't need to live, so you don't need food unconditionally.

Even if you expunged all sexual arousal from your system (through castration or ovariectomy) you would still desire friends/family as strong social relations are valuable needs insofar as you "need" to live. Friends/family will prevent you from getting gangraped during endemic conflicts or help you gather food. You could even still have some desire for sexual activity if only as a vestige of stimuli you've become accustomed to before your desexing

Don't be fooled by the materialistic meme OP. Find Jesus, read the Holy Bible, read up on the 4 types of Love, and then find yourself a woman.

But you would be "happy" as in your brain would reward you with dopamine for having them, is it truly what YOU want, or what your body wants?

Being an unlikable piece of shit is more heavily correlated with nihilistic atheism.
