- Loughla 3y agoI feel like any research into this would be purely hypothetical? How would you even test that?
- jncfhnb 3y agoSee if it rigorously predicts people’s priorities absent of the listed steps?
- Vecr 3y agoIt's possible it's supposed to be normative though, obviously people don't run decision theory directly on the output of Solomonoff induction using a pre-programmed or learned utility function, but it's what they should do (but they can't, because it's not even computable). It's the theoretical perfection that all practical systems should attempt to approximate.
- jerrygoyal 3y agoi found it relevant to me
- mif 3y agoSame here. I find it relevant because it creates an awareness of where I am in my current state of mind. I also think I can derive a morality from it, or at least some personal values of mine. I don’t know how to describe it properly, though.
