My PhD plans are shaping up: value based decision making. That sounds like what I want to do and like something that means so much to me.
Is what I am doing in line with my values? This is the best question to evaluate any decision. It seems that doing PhD on this topic - iS indeed. But everything else? There are things that are clear but some are vague. It's difficult to get down to what values are underlying a particular decision. I think this can be the methodology that I am looking for.
Value based and "want"-based decisions can conflict. I really want a big house with a swimming pool, everything automated. I want to fly often. I want to have many kids. But. .thinking carefully, these wants are conflicting with my values: non-destruction, nature protection, growing from within and not at the expense of others. However on the flip side - not pursuing "wants" can be also destructive. What would be the solution?
