Intellect is what allows us to overcome emotional, irrational tendencies. Most people don't realise how valueless diamonds really are, and if they did they might not have such a positive emotional response to receiving one. Annual mining of diamonds is about 130 million carats, but the supply is intentionally controlled to artificially inflate the selling price. The demand for diamonds is basically artificially created as well, and perpetuated because people just go along with it, exactly as you are suggesting.
I'm not sure what to make of your opinion of Saabs. A lot of us find them to be a very good value, when all factors are considered. I buy used, so the less than average resale value is a benefit to me, not a cost.
