- hackinthebochs 15y agoWe ourselves are "told" what to desire. Our genes gives us drives to eat, procreate, survive, etc. We could potentially program an intelligent being that had no self preservation instinct and had an utmost reverence for human life.

- erikpukinskis 15y agoAll of your desires were dictated to you by your cultural backing. But I still think you're intelligent.
- sp332 15y agoThis is easily disproven by each desire that I have which is socially forbidden. Scratching where it itches (in public), etc.
