    - listen to your genes and reproduce -> You Die. Game Over. You lose. - win from the Inner Animal and don't reproduce -> you still die. You lose. - save people who would have died -> they will still die, just later. More importantly, You Die! You lose. - "make a difference" -> good for you. You still die. Loser. Anything else? - go into cryogenic sleep -> who knows, this may be your best bet.

    1. Procreate 2. Learn physics 3. Explore the Solar System 4. ??? 5. Rule the Universe :)

    The bearing of a child takes nine months, no matter how many women are assigned.

      That could work for a while, assuming that ruling the universe is a form of profit[^] And then you die. Game over. How about this: 1. Learn Biology 2. ???? 3. Achieve Immortality

          That shouldn't be too hard - immortality and careful planning go a long way. Consider it added :)

                  Not more than usual. I found out about the futility of everything when I was about 4 or 5. It's a good thing really because I know I don't have to try - I can be as lazy as I want to.

                      Life is not about winning or losing, it is about the journey. And a man is not judged by how long he lives, but by how well. Travel well and do good by stealth, remain quiet but carry a big stick, rush yourself and take time for others.
