Minds, morality, and the red hand rule: facilitating resource-rational agreement through policy
Joshua P. White, Rahul BhuiAbstract
Levine et al. argue that morality solves the problem of finding mutual benefit in interdependent choice. We explore how legal and institutional design can reduce cognitive burdens and support agreement-finding—explicit, implicit, and simulated. From contract law to government and organizational policy, we highlight how aligning systems with resource-rational contractualist principles can support individuals in finding mutual benefit.
