What is a correct decision? See A Realistic Model of Rationality. This paper provides a high-level introduction to the topics we will discuss in this course: goals, plans, resources, relationships, goal adoption, explanations, subjective decisions, emotions, advice, and persuasion. We want to develop a theory that can be implemented in a computer program.
For discussion in today's class: draft reasons for and against each of the following:
- Getting a tattoo.
- Getting a covid vaccine.
We assume that you have relationships with a variety of people: family, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc. Also discuss who among them will be affected by your choice, either positively or negatively.
