Yea, OP missed that if it needs a rename, it would be as Efficiency Theory. In virology for example, game theory outlines how the flu and other viruses get less deadly over time since a just kinda sick person spreads disease better than the dead or deathly ill.

I agree with you, and I just wanted to point out how, in earlier times, greed was consideres as something abhorrent, while in modern times, it is well-embraced.
The thinking âhow do I be most successfulâ, however, has a lot in common with greed. And game theory describes exactly that. Capitalism is just the practical aspect of greed. Saying that viruses get less dangerous over time is correct, still they are more dangerous than no virus at all.

Itâs like getting mad at math because rich people use it to count money

Yeah, I do math too, and math is wonderful. Iâm not angry at math. I just wanted to point out that the tool can be bent in evil ways, and we should be wary about that.
