I realized that I've been systematically doing an assignment wrong, or not as intended. We're supposed to choose competing values for ourselves, so deciding whether A or B is more important, after we've already decided that A and B are important to me.

I've been going about it like "well if A, there's a decent probability of B, so A", but that's quite besides the question of "if A, how much satisfaction do you derive, and do you derive more than if B?" 🤓 Redo! #college #personal #philosophy

Ah, it was only after erasing my original answers that I realized how interesting it'd be to compare my original answers to the re-done ones. 🙃

Oh man, I could technically do a sort of mashup of the two approaches: if A, then B has a probability of .3; A has a probability of .2 and provides 3/10 satisfaction while B provides 5/10; which pairing, given their probabilities and values, is optimal? I haven't explored this realm of logic/math much but this'd be cool for a later project. 😂 #logic #math #probability
