Boru

To be fair, I gave you two answers: that motivation to do things can be internally generated, and that experiences provide an external motivation to do things that does not infringe on knowledge.

But if we focus on internal motivations, isn't the single generation of a motivation enough? I don't see the logic of duplicating the process, such that motivation is needed to generate the motivation that generates the motivation, and so on. Isn't this redundancy what Occam's Razor is there to prevent? We merely experience the world, for example; we don't have a little man inside us experiencing what we experience, with smaller man inside doing the same, just one person is enough. There's a fallacy to this type of redundancy.

As far as being complete goes, I'm not too clear what complete means to you nor how it prevents the generation of motivation. Our brains generate thirst precisely because the mechanisms for it are complete. If an issue occurs and the brain is incomplete, disorders can arise that affect the generation of thirst.
