What's more rational: a small group of bureaucrats with no business experience arbitrarily deciding how goods should be allocated, or letting the market decide? It's pretty obviously the latter, considering how horribly central planning has always worked out.

why capitalism works so well isnt because of it being rational but, its because it imitates human nature.

Isnt it more of a vessel through which human nature flows freely?

I think the difference is, it doesnt "imitate", that would imply some kind of control, it harnesses the chaotic elementss of human needs pretty well. Better than an "imitation" would.
