- Found out the Google Books has a thing called Talk To Books
- Things I tried putting in
- Most game-theory assumes zero-sum dynamics, which are inappropriate to most real-world scenarios
- and most of the responses weren't meaningfully relevant (just other stuff about game theory) but this one was juicy:
- > When these assumptions are made for a game that is not repeated, the theoretical prediction derived from noncooperative game theory is unambiguous—zero cooperation. If such a game is finitely repeated and everyone shares complete information about the structure of the situation, the predicted outcome for every iteration
- and this was also kind of relevant in that it's a critique of the relevance of game theory to real situations
- Brams suggests that game theory is wrong in assuming that players choose strategies simultaneously or independently of each other – instead, ‘game-theoretical models should propose rules of play that reflect how players think and act in the strategic situation being modelled’
