I think this ignores a great deal of what we actually know about human psychology. Your modeling of human behavior is what I would call "Aristotlean," in that you ascribe energies and impetus to mental objects, and try to make sense of human behavior by constructing a "physics of thought." Unfortunately, such idealizations distort some very important aspects of human psychology, and, even when they say something that correlates with actual behavior, should be regarded as little more than "useful myths."
