You can insist the classical model all you want but the neurochemistry doesn't bear this out. Your desires come before your ideas, your worldview doesn't even exist in the right half of your brain, which is what's responsible for carrying out actions, and we know from strokes and lobotomies that the right brain isn't relying on the left for this.

Worldviews, theories, ideas, only occur along language, which is a part of your brain that is extremely bad at handling anything in the real world. It can only understand rigid predefined categories, and not how they interplay with each other.

A worldview only matters for things like engineering, cooperation in large groups, etc. but it has very little to do with what you want, or getting it in any direct way.

Fun thing to know, in lobotomy patients, if you show them an image through their right eye (linked to the left brain, worldviews) then have them draw that image, then ask them why they drew it, they will make up a fictional story about why they drew it without even attempting to access a memory, which they do have.

Your worldview isnt even connected to reality in that way. Most of it is a lie you make up ad hoc without even realizing its not true
