Mmm. I’d put them both in the spectrum of want, where need is simply further in, being more “pressing”, a thirst that physically or psychologically “has to be quenched”. Biological stuff like hunger and the need for sleep are here but I mean, you don’t have to fulfill them because you can just die and it’s not like the universe would crumble because of it. It’s not “necessary”.
And, whilst reason can help you understand these wants (and classify them and even curtail them), they come up by themselves. Like, even infants understand injustice and hate it and wanna “make things right” (YT has several videos on the topic), even if they don’t have the words to express it yet.
Hopefully what I said here makes some sort of sense, lol.

Yes. It’s what I’m gravitating towards as well. That it’s all mostly biological. And reason is there only to more easily quench those instinct. I like the rephrasing as “wants”.

That in reason exists no reason to be.
