Sounds like this conclusion conflicts with any form of morality based on reason. You're just acting on a biological imperative that in itself is amoral. From a biological point of view, reason is only a tool of survival. Therefore the naturalist appeal to reason is just another form of 'might makes right', one that secures the 'qualitative' by-products which in themselves have no survival value.
