I think we should start using the "rational actors" fallacy in economics as an example of why "rational actors" is a fallacy. Because you see, if economicists were rational actors, you'd anticipate they'd want their discipline to be as correct and aligned with reality as possible. Scientific accuracy is morally appealing to scientists, after all, and it's much more prestigious to be good at predicting reality! But despite [Will Smith presents: all of humanity and human history] they continue to cling to the model of "rational actors".
