Upon listening to Robert Murphey's essay, I have discovered another nuggest that troubles me. His logical sense of how actors in his system shall act.

It's this belief that people are so rigorous in their decision making that I think is objectively false. It's true in narrow fields of focus that people will make executive, rational decisions of this nature. These tend to be fields where they've been trained, educated, or otherwise possess expertise. But people still heavily rely on in-grown methods for decision making and this becomes more and more clear as the world they occupy becomes more and more complicated. I mean, people eat McDonalds not because its food but because its hits all the right notes of salt, fat, and sugar. Advertisements so effectively ingrain products into the human psyche that it takes effort to see a green plastic soda bottle and not think Mountain Dew. If big firm BF wanted to bilk its employees, there likely could exist many methods of control that could be profitably used (I only add likely could because I haven't put forward any effort to figure out what these methods may be).

I would suggest that people need others looking out for them for no other reason than that you'll reciprocate. And as the world becomes increasingly more complex and fills with increasingly many people, this idea that the single person along with all the other single persons will independently together make just and prudent decisions at every step which will guide the whole of society efficiently forward doesn't strike right with me.
