Great thread, this sold me -- bought a copy, look forward to reading it.
@NegarestaniReza, curious what your take is on FEP and related frameworks as models of agency & intelligence. You and I had a bit of a discussion about this a couple months back:https://twitter.com/metadiogenes/status/1232879904519262208?s=19 …
Jason Blakely's book 'How Economics Becomes Ideology: The Uses and Abuses of Rational Choice Theory' is not bad but I will dig up some good shorter texts on this topic.

In my opinion, there are two canonical ways to challenge RCT. One is the Brandomian critique of the rational in 'rational choice theory' and the other is the problem of levels as explained by neuroeconomists and complexity theorists like for example Carl Craver.

Both are necessary. While the Brandomian critique challenges RCT at the micro-level (individual choice), Craver's critique targets the over-extension of micro-individual choices to macro-market choices.
