Rational irrationality refers to a concept in behavioral economics and social choice theory where individuals make decisions that are irrational from a purely logical or economic standpoint, but these decisions are rational when considering the broader context of individual preferences, social norms, or the constraints they operate under. The term is often used to explain why people might choose options that lead to suboptimal outcomes, even when they have the knowledge and ability to make better choices.
