How can one have a purpose other than one's purpose? I am using "will"
here in the sense of what one actually tries to accomplish, not in the
sense of whatever transient whims one might have. If one has a goal,
and wishes to accomplish it, one must commit to a model of the world in
order to achieve your goals within it.
