You raise a fair point about the tone, but the reason it often sounds so absolute is that, on a biological level, it is a fundamental truth. Our primal nature is most transparently revealed through our innate desires, which operate beneath the veneer of society. The "upper-level" concepts: morality, law, social contracts - often function as a system of repression, a concept famously articulated in Hobbes' Leviathan, where order is imposed to control our raw, human state.

This isn't merely a philosophical stance, it's a pattern observable in history. A significant number of the most brilliant minds, from philosophers like Democritus to scientists, have espoused hedonistic or epicurean principles. It seems that a heightened intellect often correlates with a stronger urge to interrogate and fulfill one's authentic desires, rather than blindly adhering to a societal "protocol." So, when someone declares this the "natural order" they are not necessarily being dogmatic, but rather pointing to a deep-seated biological and historical precedent that society has spent millennia building walls against.
