I don't understand your point. Would you explain further? The g'parent poster wrote "It looks like we are wired to avoid natural selection." I see no evidence for that. I see evidence that it's not true.
The conservation ideal of preserving ecosystem diversity is a rather recent cultural invention. I don't think Alexander III of Macedon ordered the massacre of the men of Tyre, or the slaughter of the people of Massaga, in order to preserve cultural diversity.
I don't think the death and destruction under the Mongol Empire was because of their wired desire to avoid natural selection.
My comment is to ask why I should believe that the conjecture has any merit. I don't know what you mean by your response.
