Episode notes
I raised the question of there being multiple levels of explanation so if you asked me well what percentage of world activity is ruled by the downward sloping demand curve I'd say pretty close to 100 percent maybe a hundred percent right and there'd be widespread agreement on that. What persons are expecting or the meaning a particular action has to them covered by other social sciences for instance the humanities. If you're looking for an ultimate explanation you have to go back to physics and the creation of the universe and evolution selection etc.
