"After rushing to Starbucks for some overpriced faddist "coffee", my pinky is sticking firmly out. I now understand game theory completely.
A game either entices you to play it, or it doesn't."
So what, the Pentagon (who uses Game Theory extensively) are a bunch of pinkey-waving homos? It's a branch of mathematics. Not psychology.
There is nothing more pathetic than pure ignorance which mocks that which it is incapable of understanding.
From wikipedia:
Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics that uses models to study interactions with formalised incentive structures ("games"). Unlike decision theory, which also studies formalised incentive structures, game theory encompasses decisions that are made in an environment where various players interact strategically. In other words, game theory studies choice of optimal behavior when costs and benefits of each option are not fixed, but depend upon the future choices of other individuals.
Please refer to my comments about pretentious "intellectuals" and of keeping things simple. Thank you.
