You intrinsically desire to eat cherry pie. Desire Satisfaction Theory would say that eating it is intrinsically good for you. But unknown to you, eating it would cause a serious medical emergency. So, really, it would be very bad for you. So, Desire Satisfaction Theory gives us the wrong verdict in this case. How does Heathwood address this challenge?
A. Modify the theory to say that it is not getting what we actually desire but what we would desire were we more fully informed about the object of our desire. B. He acknowledges that the Desire Satisfaction Theory cannot adequately respond to this type of challenge. C. He says that while the pleasure from the pie is intense, we have to keep in mind that the quality of pleasure you would forgo in eating the pie is much greater. D. He notes that while it would intrinsically good to eat the pie, it would be instrumentally bad to do so because eating it would frustrate many other intrinsic desires you have. Further, when all your desires are weighed together, not eating it makes you better off than eating it.
