Human goals are what we decide them to be, for emotive, personal, or economic reasons.
Have you ever tried to decide on a completely different goal? For example, could you make yourself try to produce as many paperclips as possible, ignoring everything else?
What I am trying to say is that the choice of goals may turn out to be less arbitrary than your article seems to suggest.
