I keep informing you that ethical objectivity seeks to remove evolutionary imperatives as justification not on the grounds that they can never be in alignment with each other, but because we understand that what is natural is not necessarily right. So, yes, you can have such an interest or pressure that aligns with what is good, but it isn't the imperative or your interest in it that -makes- it good.
