Viliam_Bur comments on How to illustrate that society is mostly irrational, and how rationality would be beneficial

[Viliam_Bur]

It could actually make things worse. It could put the whole society into a huge valley of bad rationality.

On the other hand, maybe that’s exactly where the society is now.
