Bad post. Game theory describes a natural pattern towards a most efficient solution for all parts. Its just a math theory that helps predict results.
And why Harold? Just because heās on a PC? There are better formats for this in the first place, even if it made sense.

Yeah, game theory is abused in economics but itās probably the only useful thing associated with capitalist apologetics. The problem with the use of game theory within economics is the fact that itās using an overtly simplified model that doesnāt actually reflect humans.
Corporations, however, are amoral manifestations of greed pure greed so they generally can be modeled pretty well with simple models in a lot of situations.
Game theory has a lot of applications outside of markets. One cool fact about game theory is that chimpanzees have a more intuitive understanding of it than humans. So it kind of looks like we either lost that for some reason (likeā¦ That itās not as necessary for us as we developed more collectivist tendencies) or we actually evolved away from that (that is, thereās some evolutionary benefit for us to actually be bad at game theory).
