- vorpalhex 7y agoHaving a choice and using the choice are different. Nudge theory is heavily critiqued and rightfully so - we know Choice Architecture is a thing, but humans are still free agents. Just because you don't like the choices people make doesn't mean you can then constrain their ability to make choice.
