Logic Allies.

The foresight of thinking.

 

 

I know I have a special connexion for pink… Could this be why last October 28th at ‘Meet me tonight’[1]  I chose the Laboratories of ‘Cultura e società’ as they were marked by the pink color ?

I specifically chose the ‘Behavioural Economics’ Laboratory which involved a points game, ‘GDPR – The Privacy Game’. Surprisingly I got top marks : the Researcher who had explained the rules of the game to me, so asked me : “How did you do it ?” I replied that I had used Freudian logic. 

An unexpected conversation then ensued about economic policy variables and their reliability, which require continuous, elaborate and complex refinements : a memorable conversation indeed.

Because the reading of ‘Psychology of the masses’ and ‘The economic question of masochism’[2], although excluded from academic texts, can instead manage to arouse curiosity in the readers to take again that initial economic intuition, which unifies one’s thinking and which we normally encounter in a state of cultured specialization and fragmentation that didactics neglects as it is already involved in training the automatisms of the mathematical and econometric formulas. 

An economic intuition has nothing to do with the mystique of istinct, which is programmable at your will,  because every intuition evaluates the intellectual investment to use it, under penalty to lose the ‘goal’ that is individual at first, but with a far-sighted perspective.
