No we’re not, we’re not cows, and even cows show behavior that falls outside of just the need to produce offspring. Have you ever heard of epigenetics?

Why would you want to find a way to even cope with such a blatant oversimplification of this reality? We aren't *just* animals competing to reproduce, not anymore, abstraction and our capacity to reason has pretty much butchered this aspect of our existence. Every major first world country has dwindling birthrates. Sex remains a goal, sure, but it is all vanity, a bonding exercize, a side quest. We still are animalistic, competing to own a bigger share of resources, one of which is a compatible partner (another, your own body, looking at you, /fit/poster). Of course if one feels cornered one may still go apeshit, but these subhuman drives, while mirror tribal struggles of dominance, are largely disconnected with a uniquely modern twist which makes these paralells between human and animal struggles mistaken at best and retarded at worst.

It really isn't, your illusions of society and of self are just the result of a hundred million year survival drive.

You are a disgusting little flesh creature, learn to accept it.

Modern twist is more related to the extreme fear of mortality. Fearful animals are competing to gain more symbolic power in order to signify that they are much more than food for worms.

Yes you are right. But human are slip into two. The symbolic self and the animal body. And this is the contradiction at the very core of human beings.

Reductionist to the extreme.
Most ants and bees will never reproduce, they don't have the capability. Their life is meant to serve the swarm as a whole by providing utility and defense.
Yes it is in service of the queen who reproduces, but claiming that their life is about competing to reproduce is the same as saying your life is in service of making scientific advancement. While it does provide foundation to allow that to happen, youre making large assumptions and attributing a minor role as being absorbed by it.

You are not a prized pig being bred for its meat, nobody could care less about you or your spawn. You are not competing for reproduction, you're merely competing for a base level of happiness you're too flawed to ever achieve. Even a worker ant has discovered its purpose in life and is content with doing.

Just meditate and do NoFap until your libido dies off. You will become indifferent to girls as your brain realizes that you never stood a chance in this competition.
