Interesting, I always interpreted Robin as casting near in a positive light (realistic, sensible) and far more negatively (self-aggrandizing and delusional).
People in far mode say they will exercise more, eat better, get a new job, watch documentaries instead of Game of Thrones, read classic literature, etc., and we could call those far-sighted plans "rational". Near mode gives in to inertia and laziness.
We could, but we really should call these plans lies for they intend to deceive -- either oneself to gain near-term contentment, or others to gain social status.
