    How do people make choices

    We choose according to our values. I define values as a measure of good
    and bad. Since we make choices, we classify things atleast relatively as
    good and bad. Value is therefore the measure of quality.

    Of course our values are also determined by memes. Values are
    psychological entities which get reflected in our behaviour when we make
    choices.
