No, I'm just not putting stuff in the biological level that doesn't
belong there. Pirsig mentions lust, greed, senses of taste, smell,
sight, etc. Do you see anything about self-sacrifice for the common good 
like ants do?

The fact that it's biologically inherited is totally irrelevant. Much of 
our non-biological humanity is also biologically inherited, such as 
mother-instinct, compassion, etc.

Your MoQ may have solved some problems, but in the wake you have created 
loads of other problems.
