do humans have another purpose? I feel like it's cope to think that your purpose is anything other than creating more of you.

Only objective purpose is survival, maybe you can consider reproduction a part of survival but generally the only objective purpose to life is to stay alive. Everything else is subjective

Well isn't our purpose to live and stay alive driven by the idea of creating more? In non conscious life (that we know of) it seems that reproducing is the main goal.

That could be where the natural survival instincts come from, I dont know. But this would mean the second you can no longer have kids the will and instintics to survive would completely vanish, which it doesn't.

Idk how people unironically believe that. You exist to create more life? Circular ass logic. What's weirder is how we value women more cause they create babies, but once the baby is born it no longer matters.

I mainly base this idea off all other life (which are not conscious to our knowledge like us) where their main purpose in life is to find a mate and reproduce. Purpose in this case means intended goal or objective, and since we are humans we can make many other purposes to cope with not being able to fulfill our biological purpose. It's a hard question to answer

If you only view life in a strictly biological sense than sure but that’s a dumb way to view things

It's not necessarily dumb to view it that way. When we are born our instincts are to survive, why do you think that is? Is it because you want to make money when you're a newborn? Probably not. Is it because you want to live in a big house and go on vacations a lot? Probably not, those are things recently created by society. So it begs the question why? I've always thought that we were made to have these instincts so we could survive and go on to reproduce. I don't truly know the scope of why we are hard wired to want to reproduce, no body truly knows.
