Then if you believe that, does it seem logical to set up some system of regulation or some type of limitations on the degree of accuracy you are willing to strive for any current goal orientation?
But it certainly seems reasonable for me to, for example, not consume all available resources in pursuit of my currently articulable goals without some reasonable expectation of more resources being made available as a consequence of achieving those goals.
Is that an example of a system of regulation or type of limitation on the degree of accuracy I am willing to strive for my current goal orientation?
Preventing other people from consuming all available resources in pursuit of their currently articulable goals might also be a good idea, though it depends a lot on the costs of prevention and the likelihood that they would choose to do so and be able to do so in the absence of my preventing them.

Yes in a sense. What I was getting at is that the implementation of rationality , when one’s capacity for rationality is high (i.e when someone is really rational), is a HUGE consumption of resources. That
1.) Because goal-orientations are dynamic
2.) The implementation of genuine rational methodology to a goal-orientation consumes a huge amount of the individual/group’s resources
3.) Both individuals and groups would benefit from having a system of regulating when to implement rational methodology and to what degree in the pursuit of a specific goal.
This is what my essay is about. This is what I call rational irrationality, or rationally irrational; because I see that a truly rational person for the sake of resource preservation and long-term (terminal) goal achievement would not want to achieve all their immediate goals in the fullest sense. This to me is different than having the goal of losing. Because you still want to achieve your goals, you still have immediate goals, you just do not place the efficient achievement of these goals as your top priority.
I certainly agree that sometimes we do best to put off achieving an immediate goal because we’re optimizing for longer-term or larger-scale goals. I’m not sure why you choose to call that “irrational,” but the labels don’t matter to me much.
I call it irrational, because in pursuit of our immediate goals we are ignoring/avoiding the most effective methodology, thus doing what is potentially ineffective?
But hell, maybe on a subconscious level I did it to be controversial and attack accepted group norms O_O
Yes
Then yes, I believe that most people pretty predictably experience shifts in goal orientation over a lifetime.
Ok, me to.

Again, I’m not exactly sure I know what you mean.
