Oh you misunderstand me! I am well aware everyone has differing opinions. That is what fascinates me so much. Why do people choose the things they do? Why do “good” people choose “wrong” things? What makes a person good? What makes the things they choose good? Why do bad people pick the things they do? How do they think? What makes them tick? How are heroes able to pick things despite the choices being so difficult? What makes them choose the way they do?
These aren’t questions anyone can really answer, and I know that, but the very least I can do is analyze the results of the difficult choices that people make from a wide selection.
Like, for example, this experiment can weed out the mathematically inclined, too. It’s something like that that’s supposed to prove “rational” thought is not necessarily wrong. After all, of your options, you can choose to confess and receive either zero or ten years in prison, or not confess and receive either two or twenty. Thus, the “rational” option is to confess.
Yet to not confess speaks to one’s “cooperativeness,” which to some is more valuable than being rational.

I guess I’m just rambling, though. Sorry.
