You're trying to add layers of complexity that don't exist. The universe is remarkably uncomplicated, much like biology (which, you correctly assert, only exists to replicate itself).

But Y Combinator (who sponsors this website) is a venture capital firm, which seeks to generate returns on capital by investing in companies. This website, therefore, is designed to reflect and encourage the interests of capital. You can pretend Y Combinator is something other than a venture capital firm if you want, but one day you'll realize that they too only care about getting money.
