I didn't watch the video, just read the about, but I'm apprehensive. Looks like this could be another example of taking "natural" to mean "socially acceptable." Murder is natural, too, but civilized society condemns it because it's inconvenient to have people killing each other off when trying to build a functioning social order and system of government. There are many things we find repulsive that are undeniably natural: Gluttony, child abuse, rape, intimate partner violence, politics... Often, we most severely punish the crimes that are MOST natural but also highly antisocial (in the sense of being anti-society). That's the only way to make the risk of punishment outweigh the certainty of an immediate and highly compelling reward.
