From Scott Aaronson's lecture notes:
"Or take another example: a singles bar. The ones who succeed are the ones best able to convince themselves (at least temporarily) of certain falsehoods: "I'm the hottest guy/girl here." This is a very clear case where irrationality seems to be rational in some sense."
Speaking of Scott Aaronson, his little fiction on more or less this topic is a delightful (and slightly disturbing) read.
