But if there is a continuum between the two, then thinking about the end points in terms of goals is relevant in interpreting the degrees of productiveness of goals in the middle.
I don’t see why this is the case—you can just think about the continuum from non-goal to goal instead, which should get you the same benefits.
Yeah, rereading myself, you’re right. I think the important thing I wanted to say is just that the productive/unproductive desires or goals seems an interesting idea to formalize an aspect of goal-directedness.
