STDs are a problem because it's made into meaningless dopamine hit
@Spaghettimon @TiredCarrot@freak.university @GiovanniHarmonia@pawoo.net @JoshuaACasey@qoto.org @chronically@pawoo.net It's literally just the same thing but worse and meaningless. Your brain didn't evolve for constant empty hits, it just degrades and gets boring.
People today have 200x the stuff people did in the past but are less happy because they're just running faster in place on a treadmill

Nobody has ever been able to do everything
Happiness evolved as a driver of function. "Doing" stuff isn't rewarding because we didn't evolve to have anything happen so easily and instantly. Striving and achieving is what accomplished things and let you have kids
Also, the objective of life was never to make children, making children is just an effect of the inherent egoism of life, since the bacterial days
