Game Theory: Prediction and Predilection

"If you say why not bomb them tomorrow,

I say why not bomb them today?

If you say today at five o'clock,

I say why not at one o'clock?"

— John Von Neumann

Veritasium on Game Theory

The successful qualities as put forward by 4 aspects of the Game Thoery:

  1. Nice

  2. Forgiving

  3. Retaliatory (if your opponent defects, strike back immediately. Don't be a pushover)

  4. Clear

Simulations

In early society, strategies with nice and bad intents had no major differentiation

Over time, nice strategies over-ran the other strategies

Harrington is the last bad strategy that barely survived and died eventually. The rest are good strategies.

We hope to see these predictions and predilections in our Simulacra of Human Society, and wish the positive outcome can align with our prediction.
