I would rather eat skittles every day and play video games and have non-reproductive sex... but the Human race wouldn't survive if I did so in that situation. The real question is whether I would care enough to keep the human race going (I *do* want kids, and hey... give me a womb and I'll have them).
War is a vital catalyst to progress, and if the race is actually going to survive after it *horrendously fails* once before: it's going to need to get into space. No... taking extra time to get off this rock would only make life more hellish until eventually humankind cannot survive (any number of reasons).
I didn't write any commentary concerning tech, since there is no way of knowing what technology level I'm working with in the Adam/Eve scenario.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
