Perhaps it will help you understand if you mentally replace every instance of the word "profit" with "benefit."
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 every 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.
I never said all processes are voluntary. I only said that the market is the sum of all voluntary human interactions.
I
also said that every decision is an economic one (even "involuntary" ones). These are two different concepts, but it's important that you understand them both.
If you had bothered to read the rest of my post, I explained further the part where you stopped. Perhaps that's why you keep missing the point? You stop reading when you hit something you disagree with?
And the genetics are themselves acting in an economic fashion, selecting the outcome which is most beneficial. (hopefully - if it doesn't, the genes don't get passed on)
Thinking in terms of profit is just a stupid bug that made us top predator. But it isn't anything special and it certainly is not the only way to live or think.
If you do not seek to better your situation, you die of starvation, or dehydration, wallowing in your wastes.
If for you profit is all you live for then i can tell you that you cannot generalize that to the world population.
I do not live for profit. I profit in order that I may continue life. Remember that not all profit is money. Some is a full stomach, or a joyous heart. Some is an empty bladder, or a satiated sex drive.
