Another YouTube video worth watching twice

[Edward K. Ream]

This video is about game theory and its implications for us and the world.

None of us specializes in this area of mathematics so we will all learn a lot. It changed my view of the world. It will likely change yours.

I've just watched this video a second time. Please watch it and pass it on :-)

Semi-related, James P. Carse's book "Finite and Infinite Games" is a good, if occasionally overtly-spiritual (and easily enough ignored if that kind of thing isn't for you), look at life through the lens of games.

Weirdly, I find all of this to be tied together with Mark Chu-Carroll's "Good Math", which is "just" a meandering path through interesting mathematical concepts, but has opened surprising doors for me when viewed through the lens of game theoretical analysis.

YMMV wildly, of course :)

Thanks for the "links".

I also recommend "Finite and Infinite Games". I haven't heard of 'Good Math', thanks for the pointer
