ECONOMIC AGENCY THROUGH MODULARITY THEORY

Economic agency as a matter of rational decision-making and as a problem of bounded rationality has never gone too far from its earlier formalization in the 1950s. Not that the advancement on this topic is so slow, but the same problem concerning higher level cognition as another general program of cognitive science is not as easy as behavioral studies. This paper will show a parallelism between economic agency and folkpsychological perspective, and in turn will give a short description on how folk psychology is unseparable from modularity theory. In short, then there must be a way to cope with cognition as the black box of economics if we can identify the appropriate level of description of cognitive structure, i.e.: modularity theory.bounded rationality, folk psychology, modularity theory

GUTS IN THE EDGE OF WEALTH: An inquiry to human creativeness

Creativeness has been a hot topic of human intelligence system underlying innovations, discoveries, and many novelties brought to the enrichment of human civilization. Unfortunately, present cognitive theories relatively separated from speculative philosophical debates only to show the very slowly development, to give a picture about how creativeness works. Here we present some synthesis between neurological reentrance system, infant evolutionary psychology, and modified socio- psychological theories to construct a new view of creativeness apart from main discussion on cognitive science that so far is still much centered on the problem of consciousness. We present a random graphical model to construct what we call ‘space of creativeness’ as a bridge between micro and macro-view of human cognitive system. Furthermore, as a part of our main concern, our space of creativeness will be useful to explore the nature of the interconnectedness between human creativeness and her economic potentiality, along with its phase transitions throughout population.creativeness, wealth, random graph, self-discrepancy theory, evolutionary psychology, reentrant neurology

Marketing – antara teori dan praktik

Marketing sudah menjadi tak terhindarkan lagi dalam dinamika sosial modern industrial. Tapi ada jurang yang luas antara teori dengan praktiknya. Tulisan ini berusaha menyelidiki ketidakterhindaran marketing, struktur teoretis di belakangnya, beberapa kritik terhadap model-model kontemporer, dan diakhiri dengan beberapa usulan untuk, paling tidak, membuat marketing sebagai sebuah sains menjadi lebih menyatu dalam teori dan praktik.marketing, memetika, sistem dinamik, graf acak, preferensi kolektif
