In matters of life people are not rational: more often they follow the emotions than a reason. The author presents a simple explanation of this fact. In his opinion, the rational beings care, above all, for themselves. As a result, they neglect the transfer of their genes, resulting in their genes falling out of the population. The medium of the basic value of nature, which is having the children, is emotions. For this reason, homo sapiens species is dominated by the genes of people, whose emotions dampen the reason. The nature created the intelligence not to reach the truth, but to support procreation. If the intelligence inhibits the procreation, the nature narrows its use.
