		<description>I think we&#039;re on the same page in your first set of questions: yes, regrets are the product of choices, yes they arise from &quot;objective&quot; cirumstances (the fact of choosing), and certainly choices try to be truth-tracking in the sense of tracking &quot;the right thing to do&quot; or &quot;the best choice for the chooser.&quot;  
  
The question, though, is simply this: is the regret more reliable than the choice? I believe we should trust our choices more, basically for justificatory internalism reasons (we decided on the basis on the information then available) and a related set of concerns insofar as inter-temporal judgments might better be modeled on inter-subjective judgments. </description>

		<description>Aren&#039;t regrets the product of the presence of opportunities, rather than the choices made?  That is, do they arise from &#039;objective&#039; circumstances rather than &#039;subjective&#039; assessment?  Is nothing that is the product of choices truth-tracking?   
 
I&#039;m not sure what your concerns about luxury goods have to do with regret-as-luxury, as everyone may have regrets. </description>

		<description>Regrets aren&#039;t truth tracking because they&#039;re the product of choices; having multiple opportunities begets regret. You don&#039;t eliminate regrets by making different choices: you eliminate regret by not having the opportunity to choose at all.  
 
I&#039;m not saying all luxuries are somehow hypocritical or wrong, though I do suspect that a good account of luxury will entail recognizing that there was some necessity that would have been better-served. There are no supererogatory choices to indulge in luxuries, and the Lear Jet and the Mega-Yacht really are irrationally wasteful; desires for such signalling goods are inefficient, indulging those desires is probably immoral. (The same thing goes for fine clothes or consumer electronics, of course, though to a lesser degree, and I suspect that signalling competitions in the bourgeoisie are more likely to be efficient and instrumental or utility-enhancing.) </description>

		<description>Regrets are not truth-tracking regarding opportunity?  Are luxuries necessarily non-truth-tracking?  It seems that truth-tracking procedures for the existence of extra-solar planets are quite a luxury, and are nonetheless truth-tracking.  Who is succumbing to the fantasy that regrets are Cartesian intuitions; i.e. &quot;...necessarily track better choices.&quot;? </description>

		<description>Very interesting.  I had heard about the book but never thought of it as being exploitative.   Perhaps the book capitalizes on of our fear of dying insofar as it implicitly promises the reader a degree of lucidity and unobstructed perspective close to death.  Perhaps to some that is somehow comforting?  I&#039;m neither dead nor dying so I suppose I&#039;ll have to wait and see.  </description>
