What you want, what we want

What does it mean to want something?

• A) what we consciously think / the conscious goals in our mind
• B) what we do / the goals our actions approach
• C) what is good for us / our “final goals” or WATO

All of these definitions are at odds with each other (at least, not perfectly correlated), and have everyday usage.

• “You don’t know what you want” denies definition A
• “You’re acting against your interests / what you want” denies definition B
