Re: Humans are not rational actors
I'm not sure it would make much difference if they were. People, the culture they live in, and the physical environment they inhabit are rather complicated things. This means that what is judged rational by one person in one context in terms of their own outcome preferences may well appear non-rational to another individual whose context, experiences, and preferences differ.
Even in a "rational" world, the intelligent and powerful would be able to leverage their advantages to exploit the differences and similarities in the various implementations of "rational" present in the population.
