Abstract—We describe a system that provides what we call all things considered support to a user. The core feature of this system is that it finds a balance between the satisfaction of short term (local) preferences and the satisfaction of long term (global) preferences. By operating according to both local and global standards the system serves a debiasing function – it produces recommendations that bypass the common tendency that people have of granting excessive weight to utilities that relate to the short term. The novelty of this system is that for every decision it has to make it considers a user’s interests all things considered; it incorporates that user’s local interests as well as his global interests.
