Remembered Utility vs. Experienced Utility
The speaker originally believed that experienced utility was the key to well-being, advocating for a shift from focusing on remembered utility to experienced utility in well-being studies. This stemmed from a belief that measuring the emotions people actually experience is more crucial than their evaluation of life. However, the speaker later shifted to a more uncertain stance, highlighting the importance of remembered utility as it aligns with what individuals desire for their own well-being, emphasizing the necessity for well-being theories to reflect people's preferences.
