What do you do when a choice changes your values? I revisit Laurie Paul's epistemically transformative experiences using an adoption example with numerical utilities. I reassess my fine graining reply and show why expected utility and standard rational choice have real trouble here.
Rolly's Take
For the seeker who dances with uncertainty, grappling with choices that reshape their very essence. This blog whispers to those who ponder the profound, where love and parenthood become philosophical crossroads rather than mere milestones. It's a space for minds willing to embrace the unknown, exploring how experience molds value beyond rationality.
