This seems incorrect - anyone reasonably apt at introspection would not come to the conclusion "I have only admirable goals", but instead to the conclusion "I seem to have many conflicting goals". It's only a profound LACK of introspection that would make someone believe that they have only admirable goals.
Really? I honestly believe on introspection that I want to help other people and so on. I notice I'm not very good at it, but I want to.
But don't you also believe that you want sex, status, and other socially inappropriate things? I mean, you wrote this article, you're certainly aware of your conflicting drives.
