"The survival of our species is good" is in some sense an opinion, but it seems like a better starting point than "emotions are unimportant" and/or "emotions can't be trusted," even if "emotions aren't important" didn't often turn out to mean "your emotions are unimportant, so I get to ignore what you want" or "anger and pride are the only valid emotions."
I don't think the survival of the species is an objective good, but "preserve my species" seems like a better starting point than a lot of things, including most of the also-unexamined priorities of late-stage capitalism.

Can you tell that I have Opinions too?
