You re picture of the species is modelled on very simple animal behaviour and im afraid its largely wrong.
First its missing the specialization pressure. In a finite habitat, any species not afflicted by disease or predators, bumps repeatedly against the resource-roof in cycles of strife. Evolution, being the dumb, process it is, optimizes for that. So you get, within every population, neuro-subspecies that are heavily adapted to situations in this spiral.
Some of these subspecies actually behave like you predict, because their environment is to unstable and longterm planning is a disadvantage, when your risk seeking behaviour makes you jump on a mammoth with a spear tomorrow.
For others, who thrive in the more peaceful environment (post-conflict/diseases/disaster curve falling back into the habitable zone) they might benefit largely from producing societal byproducts.
"Sexual-Deviants" which your post designated as a die out, have valuable properties for a society.
They can form a third "power-pillar" upholding contracts between the different interests of "pump&dump" and "I-need-longterm-commitment".
Now, this gives us something, called prediction power. And with it, we can predict, that hating non-heteros makes you a more useful creature for the females of the species, who then can choose you as mate and force you to go into the current active social-contract-cult, which will force you to commit.
This "law-producing" biology is so useful, it out-competes the simple biology model, were it not for the resources running out, due to exponential hunger.
I hope we are all grown ups here, who can talk about differences and issues, without freaking out.
The whole topic gets really cool, when you start assembling social machinery from the different neuro-subspecies.

- kragen 5y agoYour comment is too incoherent for me to figure out what you're trying to say, but it sounds like you're suffering from some sort of group-selectionism combined with the naturalistic fallacy? Also projecting the naturalistic fallacy on me, which I very much do not appreciate.
- PicassoCTs 5y ago? I do not project anything. I just state how things started out. What we can create from that is completely free, but not knowing how we started out, results in slipping back into old patterns- for example, the LGBT-movement already starts to look like a contract-cult in many aspects. I don't approve of a person being forced into a culture or lifestyle for his/her sexuality, no matter how much that culture claims to benefit him/her. People should be allowed to transcend biological limitations completely. I arrived at this model, mainly because the classic evolutionary models couldn't predict alot of things and behaviours i observed in my family, peer group and society. In my model, you can point to the top of the spiral, and predict, that evolution will produce a creature that has no empathy for anyone, except for the group that produced it. And this creature will try to drag the whole of society into a warlike state. And then you look at the world, and you see them. Sorry if such looking into our nature makes is a insult to you, but i think knowing is always more helpful.
