It's fine because otherwise we'd evolve into the social structure of Bonobo monkeys, where every problem is solved with sex.


> where every problem is solved with sex.

Would it be a problem?


obviously better than fighting


Yes. Till this day Bonobo has no invention.

Do you like this kind of society?


Well it depends what kind of society brings the most happiness out of our lives.

I can't say, I have never lived as a Bonobo.


This is exactly what everyone means by “return to monke”


One could argue that it's better to have no inventions than inventing the following:

- the Spanish inquisition

- jihad/crusades

- guns

- PFAS

- agent orange

- iron maiden (not the band, the torture device)

- the atomic bomb


Not following why that, if true, would make the current situation better ("fine").
