> One part is obvious: would you rather starve, with no options, or starve in front of a beautiful cheesecake, just out of reach? Choices made when consequences are so extreme, especially in life or death scenarios, are often different than everyday decisions. A life or death decision would have zero risk tolerance. For example, in a work environment, one strategy people like to choose is to never say that something is 'impossible', but rather that something has a particularly high price. People are much more comfortable hearing that the effort/costs of doing something aren't for them, rather than feeling like they have no choice at all.
