See that's exactly what I was talking about. It can't simply stop at "one eats because he needs to survive" it's "He eats because he needs to survive because he needs to pass his genes".
But you haven't quite proven why "survive" isn't a goal in itself and why it requires a better justification.
With that same logic pattern you could state something nonsensical such as that one eats because he needs to survive in order to eat.
