I'm really confused by this statement especially.

Eating and having sex are very much the nature of bodies, castration of a human male results in low sex drive or none at all.
Drugs can reduce appetite or increase it .
A human can override natural urges, like hunger and sex, but I think this is done with the brain, rather than the soul.

No, I have not read the OP but he is right in this. Soul is what we would call RNA as the greater part of the brain also known as TOL.

It is in the TOK that we think we are but really are not.

-Where did that first workhorse come from, then? Where did all of our agricultural species come from, then? If I don't have any corn already, where am I supposed to get it? If I don't have a tomato already, where am I supposed to get it? If I don't have a potato already, where am I supposed to get it?

Certainly not from mutations ricocheting away.
