If we were rational creatures we might choose to do such things while seated at home in front of a comfortably sized screen, rather than squinting at a pocket gadget on a street corner.
- IshKebab 8mo agoThat doesn't sound very rational to me. Modern banking apps require no squinting, and they're conveniently in your pocket when you need them.
- bluebarbet 8mo agoIMO the word "need" is doing all the work here. I have a fairly complex financial situation and yet - with a bit of intentionality and organisation - I get by fine without any banking apps installed on mobile.
- IshKebab 8mo agoThere isn't a hard line between "need" and "want". It isn't irrational to want more than "get by fine".
