Do you know why you want what you want?
- Das_Bruce 16y agoThis is just inane.

- Das_Bruce 16y agoEverything he says is either nonsensical or completely obvious. It's almost as if he's implying that if you feel like something is true then it won't be. >we want them for the feelings we think they’ll give us. >You don’t want $5 million - you want what you think $5 million will give you - security, power, sense of achievement. How many people don't realise that a pile of fifty thousand paper notes isn't much good by itself? > you don’t want the things you think you want for the reasons you think you want them. And that is just insulting. Yes we have hidden drives and motivators but to suggest that nobody except him knows anything they want is silly.
