In what sense 'should' individuals be motivated by their CEV rather than by their non-CEV preferences? Wouldn't breaking down the word 'should' in that previous sentence give you "Individuals want to achieve a state whereby they want to achieve what a perfect version of themselves would want to achieve rather than what they want to achieve"? Isn't that vaguely self-defeating?
It's more a useful definition of "should" than advice using a preexisting meaning for "should".
