The Bachelor Paris

When two doctors get together as a couple how do you think they're going to talk? Like reproduction machines it turns out, at least on the ABC reality show The Bachelor Paris.

Doctors Allie G., and star Travis Stork get together on the first night of the game and Ms. Allie wastes no time trying to win Travis' heart by telling him her clock is ticking and she is there to get married because marriage is designed to cause reproduction to occur.

Travis has no trouble handling her several counter-attacks which followed her quick booting out of the door. But what was remarkable, besides her quick leap to feminist politics - claiming he was just threatened by her high status, was her evident membership in the cult of evolution. Her intense drive to "reproduce" (her term) and desperate sense of failure not to have done so thus far has the sole stamp of the evolutionary fallicy that life has the goal of "reproduction" and that any life is a failure without it. The dead end of evolution is one of the hallmarks of the average theorist and for the first time in my life they have a true follower, someone who feels like a failure.

I'm glad I'm on the other side of that cult. Of course I believe in simolution, but the main point is I will never reproduce by choice. When the defacto goal of life is death the better we do that the more successful we will be. A child not only creates just another death for all to deal with but it makes your eventual death all that much more the most horrible failure there is - you will be actually responsible for a death.
