Comment on Wanna start *real* game theory? đ
RedAggroBest@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠agoYea, 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.
