I actually find examples like the surgery thing quite frequently in life—the most unusual thing about it may be the way I framed it. I notice options and possibilities and win/win scenarios for making unusual agreements where most people don’t.
With the hospital example, I think the nurse just asked me if I wanted to go home, as opposed to giving me a list of options and implications, although I do not have a recording of the conversation.
Regarding more complex examples, depends on things like opportunity cost. One of the first things I would do would be to discuss with Patri and other agents in the group. When you have multiple agents, you can optimize among everyone’s good ideas, and if you cooperate, you don’t end up with situations like case #2 where Patri and I duplicate work.
