Soft reminder: This is just theory-chat and it has nothing to do with me or my post.
Part of the problem is that some maps don't keep track of second-best solutions. Namely, a common irrational behavior is to chuck everything that doesn't match or adhere to principal dogma. The problem is not so much that there needs to be a way to choose a second-best. The problem is what happens when there is no second best.
I am unable to parse, "This". What are you referring to? As in, what is a dangerous pressure?
The pressure to "do something", in particular to accept a system of beliefs that promotes a particular "something", when for all you know you should just "stay there".
Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.
