When is Desire Wrong?
! specify appetitive desire, anticipation
! Dopamine as Desire (/Anticipation?), not reward

- goal displacement:
- intermediate goals without final goals

?? utilization behavior ??
Evolving beyond: predatory aggression
(desire / anticipation essentials)
Misperceived Potential Reward
