The sum total of your wants for s is w(s). s just means that you have it. w^2(s) means that you want to want to have s, but not that you want s. Perhaps you’ve been told that good people want s, so you want to want s. You might try to get s to make people think you want s, or because you’re in denial about wanting s, but you don’t actually want s.
