im pretty sure that when economics talks about people acting rationally in aggregate, its like when physicists talk about horses as being spheres. its a workable approximation for the scale they want to trend. we all know someone who spent a ridiculous amount of money on a horrible purchase, like elon musk buying twitter. but overall in general it averages out.
its not the flawed rationality of buyers and sellers thats ruining the economy.
