'I think that most conflicts between desires that a person is aware of are between a desire which is conscious (e.g. what Harry Frankfurt would call internal, one the person identifies with and wishes to be volitional and decisive) and one which isn't (e.g. determined unconsciously by genes, memes, etc). There are also conflicts between desires each of which is on the same side of this dichotomy, but in those cases the conflict probably isn't felt emotionally, it's resolved through some decision-making algorithm or heuristic, such as by consciously or unconsciously assigning weights to each. Maybe true freedom can be achieved by finding a way to always have your conscious desires, not your unconscious desires, determine your behavior.'
