I don't think we'd want to know all of our weird flaws and the lies we make to cover up the kind of personality things. Yeah.

So, by the way, yeah, I wrote about it in my book, Incognito, years ago, was this issue that really the way to think about the brain is that we are a team of rival. You've got all these neural networks that all have different drives, and they want different things, and you are a collection of these things, okay?

For example, if I put some chocolate chip cookies in front of you, part of your brain wants to eat that. Part of your brain says, don't eat it, I'm on a diet. Part of your brain says, okay, I'll eat it, but I'll promise my wife that I'll go to the gym tomorrow. Whatever, you can contract yourself automatically argue with yourself, cuss at yourself.

This is the weird part about being human is we've got all these different drives. Okay, here's what Nietzsche said. He said, every drive philosophizes in its own spirit. What he meant by that was when you are gripped by rage or sexual desire or desire to eat the chocolate chip cookies, you have this way to philosophize, to rationalize, to say, this guy really deserves this.

Or, yeah, I'm going to make this lie over here to get what I want sexually. Or here's all the reasons why I should eat the cookie. But the point is, when you're in that moment, when you're being driven by these particular neural networks, You philosophize in that spirit. You say, you know what? Actually, this makes total sense. I should do this. I should do exactly what I want.

Your aim makes the pathway open up to you. Oh, here's exactly what I should do so that I can eat these cookies.

Whatever it is, like not recycle the cans because you're feeling lazy or you want to. Let's take the simpler example. I want to eat the cookies. So when I'm gripped by that desire, I can cook up something.
