gollark: > maximizing the number of your species is always good"Good" how? Good isn't objective.

gollark: But I think this is missing the major point that what's "good" in terms of maximizing the amount of humans or something (in the short term, anyway) is *not* necessarily good for literally any other values whatsoever.

gollark: Homosexuality is, as far as I'm aware, present in other animals and such.

gollark: Humans and humans' ancestors WERE subject to natural selection for billions of years.

gollark: > if you actually let natural selection work, anything other than straight would get selected outAnd yet it wasn't. Weird.
