We ignore our intentions

What economists can see humans is an apparent consistency. We do not show our intentions because we ignore them.

We are social animals, we need to live in groups, there is a human being who lives all alone for long.

To confuse the interpretation of herd instinct become famous work the incredible story of Robinson Crusoe, written by Daniel Defoe, published in 1719. Only a novelist comes up to create the fiction that a castaway he managed quite well for 28 years on a desert island.

Economists go crazy trying to understand our attitude to the economy. While selfishness plays a very important role in our decisions, it is also true that what holds society together are the principles of benevolence and self-restraint.

As we care for the collective gregarious with a similar dedication we devote to beware as individuals.

Economists are mad because they think their observations are reliable and I tend to think they are wrong because they themselves can not stand to think that animals are guided by instinct and predominantly irrational.

For starters do not believe what we see but what we perceive.

Indeed, our ability perceptual beliefs does not disappoint but, on the contrary, these are what determine our perceptions. Beliefs (prejudices, dogmas, theories) are ahead of perception and this not only denies that confirms either way.

Our behavior is emotional, affective, emotional, strongly guided by the unconscious, instincts, impulses, desires, fantasies, but what we can see, what they can see humans economists, is the rational appearance disguised as a coherent, intelligent, predictable, intellectual. We never stop seeing our intentions ... because we ignore.
