It would be an interesting and appropriate development, of course,...

Just as in humans, for instance, the goal of "getting laid" sometimes
generates the subgoal of "talking to others" ... it seems indirect at
first, but can be remarkably effective ;=)

If "charged" becomes momentarily plastic enough to include the analog to the
kind of feeling I have after a good discussion, then the supergoal of being
"charged" might include the subgoal of attempting conversation with others,
no?

Would you see that as an interesting development, or a potential for a
future mess of "inappropriate" associations?  Would you try to correct this
attachment?  Directly, or through reconditioning?  I'll stop here because I
see this easily sliding into a question of AI-parenting styles...
