our race spans foot-fetishists, religious saints, serial killers, instinctive accountants, role-players, self-cannibals, firefighters and conceptual artists. The autistic, those with exceptional social skills, the obsessive compulsive and some with split-brains. Beings of great empathy and the many who used to enjoy torture and executions as public spectacles

Some of these are not really terminal goals. A fair number of people with strong sexual fetishes would be perfectly happy without them, and in more extreme cases really would prefer not to have them. Similarly, there are some serial killers who really don't like the fact that they have such a compulsion. Your basic point is sound, but these two examples seem weak.
