>Once again you fall back on Scientism--you assert the drive is entailed by a biological impetus but fail to consider moral action in which a given agent may recognize their action is impotent (to give one example)
I can actually give a good explanation for this from my boy Spinoza
>Human infirmity in moderating and checking the emotions I name bondage : for, when a man is a prey to his emotions, he is not his own master, but lies at the mercy of fortune : so much so, that he is often compelled, while seeing that which is better for him, to follow that which is worse.
