Maybe its just the Arc of Capability? If a being can create living galaxies,
populated with trillions of space-faring beings, then food and sex may end up
being a poor third.
On the other hand, being who I am, genetics, physiology, experiences, I have
trouble visualizing someone slamming their hand on a table and saying to
themselves: "Hey! Less screwing and food, instead, I am going create an
entire computer language."
These activities are NOT mutually exclusive, yet the idea that one can find
something more satisfying (what is the neurobiology of satisfaction?) the
food or sex, seems beyond my personal arc of capability. Perhaps if I was
more intelligent, I would see the greater charm of alternatives. However, I
seem to know many bright people who work, in part, to facilitate food and
sex. I dunno, I really don't.
