[Mary] > Can you name another species that engages in achievement for its > own sake?
. I'm wondering how viable a concept "achievement for its own sake" is. We talk about creating "art for art's sake", but what do we really mean? Perhaps we mean: we're not creating art to sell nor to make a living. But aren't we creating it to express ourselves artistically or to experience aesthetically? We see a cat stalk & pounce on a mouse, we say the cat is hunting for food. But what if it is just playing with a ball of yarn? Is it playing for the sake of playing? Or is it honing its hunting skills?
