It can prompt us with questions about why we make the distinctions we do. Our EDA is not going to argue with us. However, if we also incorporated learning into it, it could get to know us and point out to us the patterns and inconsistencies underlying our decisions. This may then prompt us to rethink our values, but the decision to change will be ours. We are also interested in the distinction between convincing someone a particular course of action is the best one and actually getting them to take it.
Someone sees a chocolate cream cake in the window.
Careful deliberation tells them they had really better not. And then they go ahead and have it anyway. One cream cake today may not be much cause for regret. We speculate that the answer to the first question is to do with the immediacy, and so reality, of the pleasure of eating the cream cake, as contrasted with the distance, and perceived unreality, of the long-term consequences of the daily fix. This sounds perhaps more like the realm of therapy than ethics.
