This is a really poor rendering of "desire". If the word "desire" is meaningful, it has to be self-actualized. Otherwise it's just a programming condition, no different than a fuse box or a dead man's switch.
Well, it is very different from a fuse box or a dead man's switch because it is CREATIVELY manipulating its' environment to achieve what it "wants". Also, much of what WE want is hard-coded as well.
In any case, everyone's desires are programmed into them, just via genetics and evolution rather than humans and programming.
