"Instinct is reality" is vague and meaningless at best, and nonsensical at worst. People override their instincts in reality, as well, and I'll bet we can pinpoint any number of instincts you don't think so highly of. Thus, instinct is not its own justification.

And why is everything "inherent to being" necessarily of value? You're just giving me "
