A great many creatures simply die after reproducing, for example, which we can interpret to mean the minimum requirement has been met and anything beyond that isn’t as important
Octopi are these incredibly intelligent and exceptionally resilient, but they kick it inside 3-5 years, typically right after reproducing.
Sounds like they should have made their kids’ survival dependent on their survival. That’s the ticket, right there. Now we just need to make our great-grandkids’ survival dependent on our survival, and we’ll all be healthy right into the next century!
