I honestly wonder how anyone in the 21st century can believe this effeminate drivel and try to pass it off as a legitimate economic "theory". Everything, from sciences, to evolution, to reality debunks it (empirically philosophical, and otherwise). So the only people it could possibly appeal to are sensitive little children who like to feel that they're special and unique and actually matter in the greater context of the survival of a self-defined entity such as culture, nation, tribe. (Much as each individual cell in the human body is nothing more than a part of the greater collective self that is the body, it could be said that the "individual" doesn't even exist except in pure abstraction - all that exists is the collective self or tribe, and every "individual" part of it is only even afforded a theoretical existence so long as it is in the self interest of said greater collective entity whose vitality depends on said individually-insignificant parts).
Why yes, people making rational decisions is, in fact, "effeminate drivel". Real men need their mommy to buy their clothes and tell them what to eat.
Bah ha ha - are you going to tell a Green Berets veteran that he's not a "real man" because he "depends" on his teammates or on governmental organizations? Of course you're not, get real. I'm not sure what you're nonsense about "rational decisions" is about, but it's scientific fact that the majority of decisions people make aren't very "rational", and are influenced by emotions, biochemical processes, and so on. (If people were 100% rational, casual sex and unplanned pregnancies wouldn't exist, and people would only ever have sex for the sole purpose of having a child; people have reckless sex because it "feels good", not because of any "rational" consideration of the potential consequences and stuff). So yeah, society is soft-enough that it affords you an existence despite your statistically-proven dependency and insignificant contributions to the greater infrastructure you're dependent on, when if it were a bit harsher, such as in the vein of Sparta, it would simply kill you rather than afford your worthless existence at the potential expense of the tribe or collective self-entity. Deal with it and **** off already rather than bore me with this effeminate, unintellectual drivel.
Lot's of faulty emotional little school girl logic doesn't make you right. That you don't even know what "rational decisions" have to do with neoclassical economics is a pretty good indication your boredom is a self-inflicted wound, probably septic at this point.
No, but they do a good job affirming the fact that I'm right. Yada yada yada - it's bullshit, it's debunked, it's as scientifically as the Flat Earth theory. No one would have any reason to inquire further about your silly absurdist jargon and wordplay than they would about Scientology or other crankery. Deal with it already and move on. Tell me what your idiosyncratic definition of "rational" (which apparently has nothing to do with the mind or thought) is if you think it'll make a difference, but it won't.
