This is one of The Big Three Problems I came to LW hoping to find a solution for, but have mainly noticed that nobody wants to talk about it. Oh well.

  • How do you judge what you should (value-judgmentally) value?
  • How do you deal with uncertainty about the future (unpredictable chains of causality)? (what your above post was about)
  • What's the right thing to do in life?

Here are some of my previous posts on the topics.

Here are some of my previous posts on the topics.

Your posts highlight fundamental problems that I have as well. Especially this and this comment concisely describe the issues.

I have no answers and I don't know how other people deal with it. Personally I forget about those problems frequently and act as if I can actually calculate what to do. Other times I just do what I want based on naive introspection.
