I am willing to defend the parent here. Just because majority follows the urges imposed by their bodies does not automatically mean that everyone does. I personally would posit, that it is that very 'skin in the game' that makes humans create and reframe their very existence not only as something worthwhile, but also desirable to the world at large ( and even the universe in general ). In a very real sense, the universe simply cannot cannot care for us. It is not an anthropomorphic entity. It has no feelings, hopes or dreams. After we will inevitably end ( as likely many before us ), it will not change just because of it. It will have just been.

From that perspective, it is hard to argue that is not accurate. And if it is accurate, then positions contrary to it are not accurate and therefore naive.
