One of the best example that I have for a rational plan is my attempt to gain weight by adding 800 kcal of maltodextrose to my daily tea consumption. It made so much sense.
On the other hand it didn’t work and it took me 2 months to admit that my scale showed still the same weight. The planes didn’t land.
However, there is still a risk that our understanding is imperfect, and taking ideas seriously will expose the imperfections.
I think it’s pretty certain that our understanding isn’t 100% perfect. We can run controlled trials to update our understanding of rationality and as far as I understand CFAR wants to does go that way.
Taking ideas overseriously is another way to see imperfections and gather knowledge. I think that when one tries to gather knowledge about a domain it’s useful to use many different approaches to gather knowledge.
Yes I still have that goal. I’m 181 cm tall and at 56 kg with +-2 kg for the last 3 years. Probably also the last ten but only in the last 3 I had regular measurements.

Why were you trying to gain weight and is it still a goal?
I deliberately adjust my weight up or down by ~ 10kg fairly regularly and depending on your situation, I might be able to offer some ideas.
