If you actually believe people make bad decisions knowing that the decision they're making is bad, I don't know what to tell you.

Did you go to public high school growing up?? Or grow up near backwoods country? lol.

Joking aside, this was a really good read. I have no formal economics background, but I do have a degree in mathematics. This was an informative perspective that I enjoyed reading.

People certainly make decisions that turn out to have been bad, and that they might even think have a high chance of turning out bad.

But they make them because they're lazy, or not thinking hard enough - both of which are choices they made too. I make less than optimal decisions a lot of the time because I don't want to think hard enough - but that means making the "less than optimal decision" WAS the optimal decision.

TL;DR it all but you seem to be equivocating on the definition of 'rationale'.
The first thing to accept is that human beings are anxiety driven machines with a limited capacity for memory and reasoning. With a human-centric definition of "rationale", as opposed to the classic "min-max" meaning, you can construct a model for it.

Money is negative anxiety but it's non-linear and the human-response is not homogeneous.
The most obvious example is the gross difference in behavior between men and women regarding money.
If you want a Nobel prize flush this out.

Have you done state-space mathematics?
