It's definitely something I see in the world, in my own behavior at times. But it's not my only motivation in life. I have things I like to do that no one else around me does, internal motivation. I'm hopefully not doing them in some subconscious comparison to others that exist a 1,000 miles away. My interest in certain unproved math. problems, or space research, or porn, or skiing or cats or whatever - I can have my own desires. I don't buy it that intrinsically I am unlikely to have no uniqueness.
