Rationality and Goals
- Rationality involves overcoming self-deception and achieving goals.
- Optimizing goal achievement often leads to changing goals, valuing process over results.
Source of Rationality
- Humans are the source of rationality standards, derived from our competence.
- Normative theories arise from idealizing competence and minimizing performance errors.
Competence vs. Performance
- Competence errors are systematic, unlike performance errors which are circumstantial.
- Systematic errors in reasoning experiments suggest flaws in competence, not just performance.
