But it is not important. If it were important, you wouldn’t think about it as “what do I want”. For example, if you want “world peace” and you have two ways to achieve it, and you can’t choose because both are so great, it means either that you have no dice or there is a reason why both would fail.
Yes, I hope that my framing of the problem supports this sort of conclusion :P
An alternate framing where it still seems important would be “moral uncertainty”. Where when we don’t know what to do, it’s because we are lacking some facts, maybe even key facts. So I’m sort of sneakily arguing against that frame.
