Game Theory Ain't Life
playing online all day
politicians
prisoner's dilemma references
military
media
social net life
all about the game. all of it. 1st person shooter to civilization builder but what irks me is not any of this, it is what it is and its fun we could do worse universe wise.
what shits me is people using simple game theory as a compass for life in all of this. the real platform is complex and undo buttons are hard to discover so when a tic tac toe strategy is presented as some kind of parable for life it's fucked, not just stupid. demoralizing might be the best word for it at least in it's worst sense.
once a story can be divorced from it's moral we are only left with technique. ok but again a simplistic looks at optimizing some easily digested metric is fucked for a human life.

EXACTLY christopher...you are 100 on that one !!! :) for real .....I know, that I know, that I knoww knowwww.....:)
Of course it isnt-life is far too chaotic not to mention situational and subjective that any logical theory falls short and that includes game theory.
yes in order to interpret us game theory reduces us
then we feel the theories when their algorithmic encapsulation acts upon us
and then we act like the game theory in order to game the algorithm

this is getting even worse as people look at the kleptocrats running the game they realise cheating is the way to win
I'm going to be a contrarian and say game theory is humanity's only chance at survival. It's our best weapon to control A.I.
it really comes down to just oversimplifying objectives. and you can win. i want to be a president, im willing to do anything and on each move im willing to screw over anybody at any time if it doesnt hurt me. if you are psycho enough and dedicated enough you can be putin.
Hi PHDs ..... I am living it in real life as we speak...I can confirm ...take care everyone... its the people you are around that are the problem.... ''hell is other people'' that is a quote ... and I am sad to say that it is TRUE... only keep 100s close, but , yes , keep enemies close to...but at a safe distance from you, your house and ur family and pets... stay safe...it is NOT safe where I live...gangs with machettes and knives and guns... I have been assaulted abused stolen from over and over... stay safe... its real life shit...and yes people are dying...and yes more will die from crazy neighbours and crazy loved ones..and crazy police...and.... stay safe :) PM me PHD if you would like to discuss further ... I would love to discuss this bloody game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just click COMPOSE in messages and type Beauteous and my name will come up...
