I am sorely confused. Are you representing that humans are driven by only one set of motivations, and never by competing and contrasting motivations?

I've seen that notion represented elsewhere, but I find little basis in reality to support the notion that people don't widely hold competing outlooks within their own mind. Evidence from animal behavior suggests the capacity for competing outlooks long preceded human evolution.

The myth of "one true belief" seems to serve best as a persuasive tool, whereby a person is presented conflicting statements they have made and are then challenged to embrace one as sincere and the other as false.
