David,
I concur with the list being human desires; however, only items such as food
and sex are essential to genetic perpetuation, should the list be grouped
accordingly? Some members of the list are memes such as honor and sex...If
you were to group the list by relevance to procreation ,what would it be?
Noticeably, items such as sex can exist > 1 group.
