What You Can Expect When You Don’t Want to be Expecting

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jul 5 '16, 20:52

When deciding whether to do something, we need to assess how good the outcome will be for us. But Paul argues that in many such cases, we simply don’t have enough information to do this. And that’s because we don’t have information about the subjective phenomenal value of the experience we’re considering - that is, we don’t know what it’s like (for us) to have that experience. This means our decision is inherently under-informed

Hmmm...tell me more?

I was intrigued by this but the real reason for posting is the final conclusion / statement (elizabethbarnesphilosophy.weebly.com)
