Today I was late coming home, and realized that my aversion to asking people for reasonable things was preventing me from acquiring useful information about the fastest route home. So I went up and asked the person in the metro station for help, and I got it, finding out that my original plan depended on a bus that stopped running much earlier than I expected on Sundays.
Rejection Therapy FTW!
Basically, to the extent that there are useful things that other people do habitually, and are fairly simple for me to do, I can benefit from learning rationality.

And that’s a lower bound.
