separating preferences from their environmental context is also a fallacy. there are no ideal preferences that would exist if only some outside agent hadn't interfered. life is a long series of outside agents and our response to them.
- timwiseman 17y agoThis is true in the general sense, you cannot remove all outside agents and still say anything meaningful. But it is not true when dealing with any one particular agent. You can often say what would have happened but for one particular agent.
