Very much agree that while it is is useful in description of motivation and inspiration,
it is very non-helpful—or worse—to use this language, this way.
One might as well say "need neural plasticity" which is as much an analogy and equally misleading and counterproductive in shaping the right model of the system.
One might even call this pernicious, what it encourages is already a social problem; and it doesn't aid understanding, it confounds it.
