Your unawareness of your own motivations is hardly news - psychoanalysts have been making hay here for decades - but it's not evidence of lack of motivations.

Your unawareness of your own motivations is hardly news - psychoanalysts have been making hay here for decades - but it's not evidence of lack of motivations. A behaviourist has the hammer of behaviour, and is trying to treat the mind as his nail. But he missed the mark right from the outset, for me. I don't think his defence of human creativity is on strong grounds either. Association and generative application of patterns are pretty key to creativity to my mind; what we lack is a high enough tower to properly guide intention in our pattern systems, primarily because of the inefficiency in training I suspect.
