Question:

If you climb a mountain, can you still enjoy it if there is no view from the top?

i.e. - are you more intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated? Is it the journey of the achievement that matters?

I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with enjoying the view - I'm just asking your preference.

I also didn't mean to imply that it was a perfect eithe/or situation - surely human behavior is more complex than that. But James can you not accept that there is a predominance of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation among some people?

I don't believe in any black and whites - its all shades of grey but some are darker than others.

I don't believe in any perfect knowledge or any perfect 'truths' but that doesn't stop me from seeking them.
