Oh, but reproductive and survival are the most important, and tie indirectly or directly into pretty much anything.
Greed? The desire and pursuit of more power/influence. Power/influence = better security = better survival/more mates (despite what fairy tales may say, someone who can provide the absolute best for their family is more likely to be chosen). This is the primary, primal force driving the economic and military infrastructure (read: EVERYTHING!). If we didn't want/need more stuff to sustain or improve living conditions, there would be no need for fighting. Even science, at it's core, is intended to be applied to more practical applications eventually. Practicality meaning better power/influence, and not just intellectual masturbation.
Our accumulated knowledge is to supplement the base instinct. An early cave man would get hungry, and go out to beat something to death with his fists. As they became smarter over generations, this became stabbing stuff to death for food. Then it became projectiles and trapping. Today we merely go to the store and buy a steak, but to do this, we need money. We earn money by doing specialized tasks not directly related to getting the food. The money is an intermediary step, intended to translate sweeping (or whatever you do) into food. By this point, it's come quite a long ways from beating stuff to death with your hands. Yes, very far indeed, so as to feel completely unnatural. Sweeping the floor = food? The brain's first response is "WTF does that mean?". Humans did not evolve to think such abstract things on such a large scale all the time. While we are generally very good at it, such all-encompassing abstract concepts and systems are suppressive to our base instincts.
Now, the "work for food" example may just be a small thing on it's own, but this applies to everything now. As technology has progressed, it has become increasingly detached from our instinctual response. You don't walk long distances anymore, you press some pedal attached to a machine that somehow makes the metal object you are in move. You don't fight a bully, you use some convoluted bureaucratic system so someone else can bring some abstract form of punishment upon him. Then there's...
The "become chaste" one is already partially in effect and has been for thousands of years. Sexual repression is a thing, and a nasty thing. The most sexually repressed areas have on average the highest rate of sex crime (rape, molestation, etc), and honestly? "Going against human nature" is an argument I'd actually be in agreement with to explain why.
And to top it all off, humans instinctually cling to small groups. We are tribal, caring primarily about those closest to us. However, there is strength in numbers. To survive in a modern world, you need to work with a lot of people you don't know or care about, and probably hate. Because if you don't and the other people do, then you get routed and suddenly have nothing. From this need to work with so many other people rises specialization, and all those abstract systems that suppress our natural instinct, the stuff we
really want to be doing.
Culture grew out of instinct and knowledge, but it has grown into a form which, in many ways, causes the "will to survive" and "desire for comfort" to clash. Survival always wins.
I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but this is why I think technology needs to be taken into a new direction. Instead of replacing our natural actions, we should be trying to enhance them. Why drive a car if you can run 60 MPH? Why use a computer if we can increase brain power instead? Why eat synthesized food when we can make it grow faster, and on it's own? We are approaching the point where we can manipulate organic systems as well as we can mechanical ones, and I think we should start moving in that direction. (But no manipulating the human genome; we can't even call ourselves human anymore if we do that. Just my ethics there)
I
think I touched all the bases here. Might post some more as it comes up.
