I think an important question here is what need refers to. Needed to become what?
That’s not a leading question - I mean that I don’t know what the target behaviour should be in any concrete terms. If we don’t know where we’re going it’s hard to navigate.
What do we think we should hold up as virtues? I’m sure we all have a few ideas but something coherent and consistent would be good.
Lots of things that are currently accepted as good are really problematic, I feel. Classic example - hard work. The idea that toil is inherently noble and converselt wanting to relax is slothful. Doesn’t really lead down a good road.
