Humans are often mistaken as to what will improve their life, but my claim is that they think the chosen action will improve their life., immediately or eventually.
I'll challenge this claim. The proposition that humans have "only one end goal" appears to oversimplify the complexity of human motivation and creates definitional problems around what constitutes a "better life." Consider this counterargument: humans often pursue goals that directly conflict with personal betterment - martyrdom for causes, self-sacrifice for others, or even self-destructive behaviors pursued consciously despite known negative consequences. If we expand "better life" broadly enough to encompass all human goals, the claim becomes unfalsifiable and loses meaningful content. What's your argument for why all human end goals ultimately reduce to this single drive for a better life? How do you account for seemingly contradictory behaviors like deliberate self-sacrifice?
