Steven Pinker argues that irrationality can be a powerful tool for achieving desired outcomes. He suggests that in some cases, it may be more rational to choose ignorance, incapacity, or irrationality than to try to understand the complexities and nuances of a situation. By avoiding the effort of trying to understand, we can save time and energy and focus on our desired outcome. This might be especially true in cases where the outcome is more important than the process, such as when making a decision quickly or when the risks of making a wrong decision are too great. Ultimately, Pinker argues, irrationality can be a valuable tool for achieving desired outcomes, and it can be more rational to choose it than to try to understand the complexities of a situation.
