menopause only stops factory production, but orders keep on coming in anyway.
love is nothing more than a neurochemical process that evolution gifted us for stronger social groups, which ended up being necessary given that human offspring are utterly senseless and defenseless for a few YEARS, while a newborn gazelle is running with the herd literally 5 minutes after its birth
sentience is kind of a huge evolutionary oopsie, it has effectively halted human evolution. The weakest of our species aren't culled anymore, due to this "sympathy" thing, we elevate the worst of our genetic products via social programs, special schooling etc. Then we put them in groups, so they find each other and roll their unfortunate genetic dice together.
Yay humans.
