There's this very interesting I think split between the first person perspective and the third person perspective Thomas Nagel famously wrote about it others have you know noted it. And I guess I think that that split is at the heart of some of these problems with decision making and decision theory like failing to recognize that we have different ways of thinking about who we are, what we should do and how we should make assessments. So I think I've just not been adequately recognized or appreciated and addressed.
Philosopher and author L.A. Paul talks about her book Transformative Experience with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Paul explores the uncertainties that surround the transformative experiences that we choose and that happen to us without choosing. How should we think about the morality and personal impact of these kinds of experiences, especially when some decisions are very hard or impossible to reverse? Examples include becoming a vampire, having children, religion, and other life experiences and choices.
