Calling being unable to decide what to wear as "only being able to make rational decisions" is interesting, but it's not what's really happening.

Every decision has a ROI. The line where ROI meets costs is your maximum budget for a decision, after which point it costs you more to remain in the decision phase that it costs you to follow the best of the few "imperfect" decisions you have in mind (one of them includes the decision to stop "deciding", do nothing, and move on - that's still deciding).

That idea so far is rational. If you wear nothing you'll remain naked. If you don't eat you'll die.

And most of all, being stuck deciding forever just about anything is not rational.

So this person is unable to sense his "decision budget" and decides forever, while most people have facilities (impatience, impulsiveness in some degree, boredom etc.) to work around us being stuck forever after our decision budget is spent.

Spending to get positive ROI is rational. Spending infinitely beyond that point is not.
