Then there would be no reproduction, and it'd be pointless, and there is really no point to continue the reproduction besides for the species to continue its pointless life of procreation. We're just following a constant cycle that we believe has a point when we're only following the primitive requirement of evolution for an organism to want to survive and spread its seed. But if we were to all become Buddhists and not continue to spread this seed, we would die. Would it matter? Would it make a difference in the universe?
