I was in another thread and someone made the comment “literally the only motivating force for any life is actually genetic material’s incentive to propagate itself.”
And that got me thinking, “yeah, I obviously know that the ultimate end goal for an organism is passing on its genes… but why?” Why does that matter, or rather why is it a goal for genetic material to propagate and perpetuate itself? What is the “incentive” here and WHY is that an incentive?

If you start with a bunch of random organic chains, and some do reproduce and some do not, in time, the ones that are reproducing will out number the ones that are not and keep on dong what they are doing. No “reason” is required.
