Remember, not all profit is money.

Complete nonsense (like the rest that depends on it being true).
There are many many non-economy driven choices a human makes.
Economy may consider these choices, but the maker of the choice does not need to intend it to be economical.
Every choice you make is an economic decision. Chicken or beef. The Blonde or the Brunette. Walking or taking the bus. You are choosing the alternative that (you think) will give you the best outcome.

There are, for instance, many human behaviours driven by instinct and hormones.
You mean those decisions which your genes (themselves the product of millions of years of economic decisions) make for you?

In what way do genes have an idea about what is a better choice and how does that affect their development? How does that cover the 'voluntary' part?

Since you now claim absolutely everything is somehow economic i will not even try to sift through the rest of your post.
It's silly.

Voluntary implies a someone that can contemplate the choice.
Not all processes are voluntary, not even all human social interaction-like processes.
