So agreeing with Subhan, I think we just do what we "want", maximizing the good feelings generated by our decisions.

Maximize the satisfaction of wants, maybe, but not just good feelings.

Subhan: "Now you're just being incoherent. Your brain computes something it wants to do whether it wants to or not?"

One subself computes something it wants to do whether other subselves want to or not.
