this morning after you wake up i would like you to ask yourselves:

do your desires come from inside of you or dictated by the people in your environment?

do you have any true internal desires that didn't come from the outside?

what are these desires?

Desires are both internal and external. Just like motivations are intrinsic and extrinsic. Desires manifest from these motivations.

yes yes

can you give me an example of an internal desire though?

Have you cordoned off molecular biology as "desiring"? If not, that's where to look. My kidney's need more potassium, so I seek out bananas. The call came from inside the house.

I’d 100% believe you and agree.  Most people aren’t even aware of gut/brain link.  I also believe that early experience, brain development in first months, drives a lot of who we are.  We are mind and body linked.  Those early experiences create our triggers and or “gut” instincts.

I looked really, really closely at each and didn't find any teleology anywhere. Just meat.
