This chapter combines adjustments for removal of idealizations. It recommends maximizing self-conditional utility among self-supporting options, using a quantization of conscious beliefs and desires, after making reasonable efforts to form and become aware of relevant beliefs and desires, acquire pertinent a priori knowledge, and correct unacceptable mistakes. Future work on realistic decision theory will explore planning, time preference, attitudes to risk, and equilibrium in cooperative games.
Keywords: cooperative game, idealization, plan, risk, time preference,
