This is a very theatralic way to express the feelings of a man that sees through the game of women.

But i think you are right and it is a good beginning to assume that the rejection of reproduction is a requirement to understand things that need a little bit more distance of the circle of life.
And its basically excactly the same thing monks and similar people do all arround the world. They are very strong people and have a lot of power for a reason.

People that are trapped in the animalistic circle do not understand people outside of the grid and they do not know about their goals. Me for example never wanted a family life or a woman but i always wanted to play my cards right in the right moment. I always loved to plan stuff years ahead with nothing but millions of micro manipulations here and there. I might be born as a peasant but you will see me float in deep space with an immortal body.
