Daniel, I must say you are an excellent lecturer! Your personality shines and the information you present comes alive! It was really interesting to hear about game theory!
This was a really interesting lecture. I feel that game theory is not taught as much as it should be. I have not come across it in my classes for the past few years,only in my free time. Keep it up.
This is a very intriguing lecture, I wish my professors had taught me the subject in this way.. My approach towards this subject has been very analytical as it was included in "Operations Research", but I enjoyed solving problems. Next I read about it in "A beautiful Mind" a biography of Nobel Prize-winning economist and mathematician John Forbes Nash, Jr. by Sylvia Nasar, professor of journalism at Columbia University (later on watched the movie too). But honestly speaking I never went so deep, I am definitely going to turn some pages as soon as I finish this comment. Absolutely loved the lecture. Thank you for uploading it.
Wrong. Stealing a bank, being a cartel is NOT bad cooperation. Thieves and cartels cooperate very well to achieve their (bad) goals. There’s no such thing as bad cooperation. There’s only cooperation or no cooperation.
@@PhiloofAlexandria Disagree. Semantically speaking, if some baddies cooperate to execute an evil plan and they succeed, they had good cooperation between them. You can have good cooperation and aim for bad things in life. Cooperation is the means to an end, not an end in of itself. In the same way, if I cooperate with others to say, open an NGO that helps a particular community develop their crops and products and we fail because people didn't do their job, we have bad comms, people who had offered economical support ended up not contributing etc, that's bad cooperation even if our goal was holy. My two cents.
@@UserName________ you basically are just explaining what he said. he was stating it was bad from a moral viewpoint not whether the cooperation was effective
