Редактирование: Joy, Growth and Choice (раздел)

==Choice==
<blockquote>
"Choice is the most complicated of the three values I've identified ̶ but it's also the only one that implies the existence of integral, individual minds in anything like the sense that humans have them.  You could have growth and joy in a Cosmos without individuals ̶ but choice requires individual minds. Valuing choice means valuing individuals that decide. These individuals don't need to have illusions of all-powerful, unpredictable free will ̶ they may well be more realistic about understanding their choices as being associations between their internal dynamics and broader entropy reducing dynamics in their region of the Cosmos. But still they have their own intentionality.

Compassion, in this view, comes down to valuing joy, growth and choice in a way that goes beyond the boundaries of one's individual mind, body or self.  

A Cosmos of individuals, choosing their actions and experiencing joy, growing in a joyful growing Cosmos ̶ this is close to being the crux of what Cosmism values. ''Living life in a positive way: living life in a way that promotes and embodies universal joy, growth and choice.”''
