It isn't that hard. People who act irrationally aren't behaving randomly. Generally ( I really want to say always) they are making decisions using their gut and emotions rather than rational thought. Hence why they are acting irrationally.

The Fermi paradox, basically. Either life is very rare, or they should be here by now. As to why life is rare, there's a lot of options, but the earth being a rare gem that supports life is one of the more reasonable ones.

"Children don't die anymore because of modern medical advances, therefore I can eschew modern medical advances and my child won't die."

OH WORD? LEAD IS POISON? Maybe tell that to the hundreds of generations of people who lined their aqueducts with it,m who used it as makeup, and who painted their walls with it who have survived using it since the dawn of civilization. Also make sure to tell modern civilization that it exists thanks to poison.

Photosynthesis FTW!

Appropriately planned being the key word there of course. Most people couldn't appropriately plan a trip if you gave them a map and a gps unit. IDK what that says about people's ability to appropriately plan vegan diets.
