Homo oecinomicus is self-interested and super-rational. Otherwise micro-economics wouldn’t make sense.

“What took place in the early 1500s was truly exceptional, something that had never happened before and never will again. Two cultural experiments, running in isolation for 15,000 years or more, at last came face to face. Amazingly, after all that time, each could recognize the other’s institutions. When Cortés landed in Mexico he found roads, canals, cities, palaces, schools, law courts, markets, irrigation works, kings, priests, temples, peasants, artisans, armies, astronomers, merchants, sports, theatre, art, music, and books. High civilization, differing in detail but alike in essentials, had evolved independently on both sides of the earth.”
Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress (2004, 50-51)

"Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups. Everything else is commentary.“
D.S. Wilson and E.O. Wilson

1. We value the present disproportionately more than the future via steep discount rates.2. We easily become distracted by and habituated to readily available novelty. 3. Via natural selection, we are programmed to compete for RELATIVE status (and resources) by whatever metric our current environment dictates.4. Cognitive biases. –Our brains are like swiss army knives5. We are not sentient or sapient in aggregate but follow the momentum of the ‘hive’.

2) For most people growth is already over.
3) No shortage of energy but longage of expectations.
4) Biology determines what we need, culture determines how we get it.
5) A lower consumption, more local and regional future.6) What sort of a future do we want? What are we willing to
give up?7) On some key risks ‘seeing a smoking gun’ will be too late
