Take to want as if in a petri dish, that's the context I'm arguing, it's not linked to any third-party aspect, just the primitive desire to either want or not, not linked to the action of doing or not, not linked to the reasoning behind it, just wanting or not wanting.

To finish, I find that, speaking in an apparently objectivist manner, justification, reasoning, and motivation, is self-deceit, just you telling yourself things that appease your feelings on your actions.

this is semantics, absolutely all my opinion, not discrediting anyone, and I don't think it will lead to anything fruitful though
