Irrationality is “different enough from traditional social problems that it is not viewed as a social problem—even though it may qualify objectively as one” (Eigenauer, 2018, p. 342).

We have to. For example, just imagine what it would be like if you thought about each step you took. The problem is that thinking fast can also mislead us in very important ways.

The final step in the ‘Irrationality project’ is to inject with regularity, preposterous, over-the-top claims about the nation’s past. It effectively blurs vision of the present.
