You're confusing cynicism with a refusal to sugarcoat reality for psychological comfort. I know it frightens you to think of humans as biological machines, because you believe it relegates us to insignificance. The fact of the matter is, however, that humans are reward driven organisms, and, despite your pious self-image, you wouldn't do a thing if you weren't revceiving a reward in the form of neurotransmitters.
You're not a selfless holy man. You're just hooked on chemicals.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
