Perpendicular game

I'm not playing. You only want to play because you know you can't do anything more.

Hym Iam "I'm still not playing the Perpendicular game. Loss avoidance isn't victory for you and this is just the thing I said it was initially. You haven't won anything. You are never going to DO anything, actually. And as long as you can continue to be rewarded for being a do-nothing, why even pretend to be competing? Who are you trying to fool? You have to know that you are never going to convince ME (of all people) that you've done anything more than pretend I wasn't right initially, convince others to lie, and sweep the corpses under the rug. Who are you pretending for? Unless proving I was right was the victory for you. In which case, I already did it. I did it the second I slammed my fist on the table and again the second Randall showed up."

Applied Game Theory

Using game‑theory models to explain real‑world politics, economics, and social behavior. Jiang strips away the abstract math and applies concepts like the prisoner’s dilemma, zero‑sum games, and Nash equilibria to everything from dating to nuclear brinkmanship. The idea is that if you can figure out the “payoff matrix” of any situation, you can predict—and even manipulate—the choices of the players. It’s strategy for geeks who want to rule the world.

“Applied Game Theory explains why the U.S. and China are stuck in an arms race: it’s a classic ‘security dilemma’ where neither side can back down without looking weak. Spoiler: the only winning move is to change the game.”

Applied Game Theory

The use of game theory’s mathematical models—which analyze strategic interactions between rational decision-makers—to solve real-world problems in economics, business, politics, and biology. It moves beyond the textbook “Prisoner’s Dilemma” to design auctions, negotiate treaties, price products, or even schedule airport security checks. Practitioners don’t just predict what players will do; they design the rules of the “game” itself to incentivize better outcomes, like creating a market that naturally reduces pollution or a contract that aligns an employee’s interests with the company’s.

Example: “The city used applied game theory to fix traffic. Instead of just adding lights, they made each traffic signal an ‘agent’ in a game, rewarded for keeping cars moving on its road but penalized for creating gridlock on intersecting streets. The signals started cooperating, learning to form ‘green waves.’ They didn’t just react to traffic; they played a city-sized game of optimization and won.”

Historical Game Theory

The analytical approach of using game theory to model and understand the strategic decisions of historical actors—kings, generals, diplomats, revolutionaries. It asks: given their information, incentives, and the likely actions of their rivals, was going to war, signing a treaty, or betraying an ally a “rational” move? This doesn’t reduce history to math, but provides a sharp lens to cut through narrative and see the cold, strategic calculus behind pivotal moments.

Example: “A historical game theory analysis of the Cuban Missile Crisis frames it not as a moral showdown, but as a brutal game of ‘Chicken’ between Kennedy and Khrushchev. Each move—the blockade, the secret deal to remove missiles from Turkey—was a strategic play to force the other to swerve (back down) without triggering mutual annihilation. It shows how they rationally danced on the edge of an irrational abyss.”
