What rational default would you apply to two conflicting but equally rational sets of action? You said before the rational default was to be rational - but that’s how you ended up at this juncture to begin with, wondering what the rational default would be between those two equally rational things.
Needing another ( and some other) rational default. I’m sure we can find them for some things, but imagine a 50/50…. or even a 51/49 with a rational margin of error/unknown that covers the spread.
This is exactly where many of the producers in my scenario find themselves. Not in any easily dismissed scenario or conflict. Presented with a rational conflict and no clear rational default between them.
It’s here that I find a whole range of rational objections to adopting a new model which can challenge my own a-rational defaults in advocating for the same.
