Document Summary
We cannot make an informed choice (vampires) but those are not the only transformative choices. If la paul is right, the standard way in making an informed choice is not correct. Mant trans exp don"t come to us as choices, they just happen. Vampires say it"s great to be no have no idea of what we are missing. If we didn"t make a transformative choice vampire. This leads back to problem of which of your preferences matter more. In transformative cases, we have no idea what we are getting or self into cause we and we chose on basis of current pref, we are bad at predicting what will make us happy. One way to negotiate: problem: other people are not you! Whose reports are incl in statistical data: 2 has all the problems of one because part of what its like is how pleasurable the exp is going to be. Another possibility: make decision based on some other value.
