I forgot to add that rational behavior in economics is different than the reason the interviewee discusses. Rational behavior in economics is an assumption that people try to maximize their utility. Utility has a different meaning in economics; it's along the lines of "happiness," but it's best to not think of it in the colloquial terms we do. Rational behavior in economics has nothing to do with thoughtfulness. The reason the interviewee discusses is all about thoughtfulness.
