Talk:Bounded rationality

message: I would suggest removing the "conclusion" section, and finding an appropriate location for that information. This section creates an "essay-like" tone. I also believe this article has too many "see also" links. SpiralSource (talk) 06:56, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestions for Improvement 

message: Please do not alter the section on "Model extensions" without reading about the history of development and connection to potential games.  User who took down material has had issues with wikipedia administration and has been reported
Please do not take down the bounded rational section - you clearly do not understand the history of "citations needed" in other articles (namely econophysics) that required this section here. Topics in econophysics are critically linked to potential games, and the background is necessary here. Please understand the history and content of the development of the econophysics article before altering this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:301:772A:E580:9184:6E6F:3252:F8EA (talk) 18:39, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  model extensions 

message: Yeah, I totally agree. I have no idea why it's even here. I think someone is trying to put in there personal say. I am going to remove it. If anyone has any objections please discuss.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.65.64 (talk) 03:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

This puts the study of decision procedures on the research agenda.
This sentence draws my curiosity, but I don't fully understand .. is it clear? 
Does it mean something like the following: 
Rubenstein's way of approaching bounded rationality provides an model through which it can be researched empirically.

message: The article says:
Gigerenzer ... and his colleagues have shown that such simple heuristics frequently lead to better decisions than the theoretically optimal procedure.
That's ridiculous. The "theoretically optimal procedure", by definition, leads to the best possible decision. At best, the heuristics can equal it, but they can never lead to _better_ decisions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.24.212 (talk) 16:04, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heuristics vs theoretical optima 

message: IMHO, this sentence:
: [Herbert A.] Simon used the analogy of a pair of scissors, where one blade is the "cognitive limitations" of actual humans and the other the "structures of the environment"; minds with limited cognitive resources can thus be successful by exploiting pre-existing structure and regularity in the environment.[1]
is more confusing than enlightening. I think it should either be expanded to actually explain the analogy, or else trimmed to remove mention of it.

replies: text: In reponse to the expert ideas review by Valente. The concept of epsilon optimization and Epsilon-equilibrium are more of a game theoretic (and information theoretic) idea rather than simply an economic one. However, it is also used in economics, for example in macroeconomics - Akerloff and Yellen's work on Menu costs use the phrase "Near rationality" in their 1985 QJE article.  It would however be good to see some more material on Bounded rationality in other disciplines such as economics, management and psychology.Byronmercury (talk) 10:28, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  HaeB edit on 29th Nov, 2016 

message: Some critics of Nudge have lodged attacks that modifying choice architectures will lead to people becoming worse decision-makers.
Also known as paternalistic Nietzschean utilitarianism. 
Why does this kind of perverse sentiment slide under the radar so easily? The word "worse" conceals a multitude of problems, as a feasible observational correlate of "freeing people to invest their energy elsewhere", which is whose idea of "worse", anyway?  
And if a person wanted to become a better decision maker, would filling the world with random decision challenges be the best strategy? 
* How to get better at the things you care about — Eduardo Briceño, November 2016
No, actually, to become better in an effective way, one would construct the challenge gradient with great thought and care. 
It pains me to see this kind of sentence being given equal air time, but what can you do? — MaxEnt 23:46, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
