Reply #8: 95% of everything we do is biologically based.

[Xithras]

You can play the "why" game with almost any human activity, and they nearly always funnel back to personal survival or reproduction. Working. Getting an education. Dating. Fighting wars. Racing hotrods. All of these and more trace back to fundamental biological dispositions.

There are certain behaviors that defy this, however. Why do we go on vacation? Why do we go see pretty things? Why do we create pretty things? The answer, in those cases, is that our curious and creative nature allows us to sometimes engage in activities that aren't biological at their foundation. For nearly all of us, however, these are simply occasional diversions from the biological reality of our daily lives.
