I’m really surprised by the clear logic of this. Lots of interesting corollaries follow:
Roles are an efficient optimization to use instead of acting dumb (provided you got trained in the right ones).
To train your chosen roles is a good idea.
Roles can be tuned to better match your needs.
It should be possible to look for missing roles covering interesting behavior patterns.
All of the above implies rational behavior can be trained.
The clear exposition makes this Main material although I wonder whether that applies to cross-posted material. I also wonder how to place this in the sequences context. Seems to be related to Teachable Rationality Skills and Rationality Dojo. It also reminds me of Geek Fu—which I did consider as rather humorous until now.
You know, I think Peter Quill used Geek Fu at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy: he distracts the seemingly indestructible bad guy at a key moment by doing something so bizarre that the bad guy stops to stare at him trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

EDIT: Typos fixed.

You might want to rot13 that last bit there for anyone who plans to see the movie.
Eh, it’s not a significant spoiler.
