Life has changed, but the gift's conditions have not

2159The deep futureDeadline · Within 1 year before the gift agreement renewal

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

A gift given to be used for a particular life goal no longer fits a changed plan. The donor's intent cannot be reconfirmed, and releasing the condition also affects others who gave in reliance on the same kind of agreement. Which should be chosen: keeping the original condition, fitting the current goal, or returning the remaining share to the community named in the agreement?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep the originally agreed conditions of use

    Honors the giver's intent but may leave a resource that does not fit the recipient's present life unused.

  2. Option 2

    Switch to the recipient's present goals

    Uses the resource in a changed life but alters what the giver expected when relying on those conditions.

  3. Option 3

    Return the remaining share to the agreed community

    Separates the individual's new life from the original conditions but gives up an opportunity already received and requires deciding what must be returned.

The situation as it stands

The assumed gift was agreed to be usable only for a specific life goal, but the recipient's values and plans have changed. Decision deadline: within one year, before the gift agreement is renewed.

Year 2159, a future synthetic scenario · Even when the life you want changes, the conditions attached to the gift do not. The events, figures, technologies, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the sake of the question, not forecasts of what will come or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The assumed gift was agreed to be usable only for a specific life goal, but the recipient's values and plans have changed.
  2. Premise 2The giver has already passed away or cannot be contacted, so no new intent can be confirmed.
  3. Premise 3Lifting the conditions makes the resource usable but also affects donations that others made in reliance on the same terms.

Where it holdsChanging values, conditional giving, the recipient's life

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Whether the original condition was a means or an end in itself
  2. Unknown 2The scope for interpreting the intent of a donor who cannot be contacted
  3. Unknown 3The actual effect of changing the conditions on other agreements

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible person, or confirmation channel will establish 「whether the original condition was a means or an end in itself」, and re-judge if the new finding changes the tradeoffs among the options.

What use value is lost while exchange value is gained?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
