Primes¶
- Mandatory vs. Default Norms
- This creates a long-running normative dispute: Conly (2013) argues that systematic cognitive limitations justify "coercive paternalism" that overrides consensual choices for the chooser's own good, while Hausman and Welch (2010) and Sugden (2008) counter that even soft, default-based nudges raise serious autonomy concerns and that incoherent or mutable preferences do not, by themselves, license third-party override.
This sourceArgues that systematic cognitive limitations document by behavioral economics justify mandatory ("coercive paternalist") rules that override consensual choices for the chooser's own welfare—the strongest defense of mandatory-floor architecture against autonomy objections.
