 Given that consuming irrationality drugs and even hiring hypnotists are normally not feasible solutions to our dynamic choice problems, the possibility of rationally inducing irrationality may seem practically irrelevant. But it may be that we often benefit from the non-conscious employment of what is more or less a version of this strategy. We sometimes, for example, engage in self-deception or indulge irrational fears or superstitions when it is convenient to do so. Many of us might, in toxin-type cases, be naturally prone to dwell on and indulge superstitious fears, like the fear that one will somehow be jinxed if one manages to get the million dollars but then does not drink the toxin. Given this fear, one might be quite confident that one will drink the toxin if one gets the million; and so it might be quite easy for one to form the intention to drink the toxin. Although this is not a solution to the toxin puzzle that one can consciously plan on using (nor is it one that resolves the theoretical issues raised by the case), it may nonetheless often help us effectively cope with toxin-type cases. (For a clear and compact discussion concerning self-deception, “motivationally biased belief,” and “motivated irrationality” more generally, see, for example, Mele 2004.)
