rational choice theory.....hhuh?

reading "The Logic of Life" by Tim Harford, not a self-help book, but on everyday economics. apparently, whichever the case, supposedly the importance of preference is still less than the importance of market opportunity. But when he says "love is not rational, but lovers are." I haven't quite figured that out that yet. It could mean that rational people become lovers, and then they fall in irrational love, doing irrational things. But it can also mean that it is actually irrational to fall in love/be in love, but when you are in love, you can still do rational things. i really don't know.

Spent the whole day doing a cause-effect-symptoms diagram, freaking tiring. It's amazing how tiring it is to just focus and think ssllooooowwwwwlly, so that you can catch yourself making assumptions subconsciously and critique every single bloody link. And all it boils down to is an A3 loopy diagram and a 3-page word doc.
