I think this is close to the question that has been lurking in my mind for some time: Why optimize our strategies to achieve what we happen to want, instead of just modifying what we want?
Suppose, for my next question, that it was trivial to modify what we want. Is there some objective meta-goal we really do need to pay attention to?
For some things it is probably wise to change your desires to something you can actually do. But in general the answer is another question: Why would you want to do that?
