Used timeless decision theory to stop looking at Google reader in bed (much more enjoyable mornings).
Of course, CDT or EDT would have dictated exactly the same decision. I suppose by "use timeless decision theory" you mean something along the lines of using it kind of like a motivational parable with the connotations of "do the virtuous/best/consequentialist thing".
I'm guessing the consideration in question is "I'm deciding for all similar situations, not just this one, so I should be evaluating this decision based on its simultaneous impact on all similar situations, not just on the current situation".
This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for the week of July 23rd. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.
Thanks to everyone who contributes!
