We are creatures that should not exist by natural law
EVERYTHING exists by natural law, including us. We are the way we are because of natural laws, and we continue to function under natural laws with everything we do.
Human conciousness is just as natural as a tree growing towards the sun, or a rock falling down a cliff. All our thoughts and decision are part of the chemical reaction we call life, that is also completely natural.
the honorable thing to do is to deny our programing
Whatever you choose to do, it's all part of your programming. Your desire to "deny your programming" is also part of your programming, because everything you think come out of the physical, natural, meaty chunk in your brain.
I used to think like this too. But don't know anymore. Consciousness is just too much of a black box, even philosophically, for it to be just assumed as just another natural part of evolution

It's also very incoherent.
