Self destructive individuality is a successful survival strategy for populations. We know them as sentries, warriors, martyrs, or heroes.

I appreciate your generalized thinking, but let's get specific.

As before - suppose we were second guessing nature, and we do that alot with our moral intuition. Is that a problem, why?
It's natural to preach inequality for women and for gays, a not so small amount of bigotry appears to be instinctual. Do you take moral issue with that?
What makes you think it natural to devalue gays and women and think of them as second class?
Do you do so naturally?
Where do you see us second guessing nature?
I see us ignoring to help nature get to it's best end, but do not see us second guessing it.
