Maybe there's an SE-answerable question in here, but I think you should edit and clarify until it becomes crystal clear what you're asking... / specifically, what type of argument (for anything) would state X is not pointless ? Do you believe things in general have purposes???

| Jul 31, 2018 at 10:32 | comment | added | mavavilj | @RodolfoAP I don't fully agree. Because one cannot display whether the spiritual should necessarily precede the biological or the other way around. E.g. absurdism and nihilism question the worth of life. | |
| Jul 31, 2018 at 4:55 | comment | added | RodolfoAP | You are trying to address a physical process from a philosophical perspective, like asking why quantum entanglement is irrational. Biological entities reproduce in order to exist along time, whether Aristotle had a good or bad philosophical opinion of it. Even in modern times, we need sex, and children will be conceived. Perhaps you can rephrase your question. | |
