Game Theory: Winning the Game of Life 

Aperture: " *Are you the type of person to analyze every second of the interaction you just had with someone for hours on end, or are you normal?* " Bruh why you gotta do me like that

“Most research on Game theory focuses on how groups of people interact” *Bold of you to assume I’m interacting with people*

I am in the middle of a class but you know I can’t miss this!

but hey, thats just a theory. A LIFE THEORY

Video: is called game theory YT Comments: *MAT PAT JOKES INTENSIFIES*

'interaction with multiple other people' COVID: You see, here is where i come in

I read “game theory” and got confused

Bro I swear I'm in the middle of an economics class learning Game Theory and Prisoner's Dilemma right now. Crazy coincidence!

“Life is a game made for everyone... and love is the prize” -Avicii

idk who designed the game of life but it sucks. yea it starts promising, you get better stuff by farming, increase your attributes and such but later on your attributes decrease even to the point of going totally bust. if you don't like the game you can't really quit, you have to play by rules made by others and you can't really change the rules much either. you may also experience bugs, yet again out of your hands, that may terminate your unit at any point (at least some of them can be fixed). even if you are generally speaking a nice person some may not tolerate your views or way of life or beliefs and even if you play life and abide all the rules and pass all road blocks you may still not reach your goals or find happiness and you're always competing with everybody for everything. the game may terminate at any point and the more you play the closer you get to the end but you don't really know when that is either. no but seriously if somebody did design all this, they really trolled everybody really hard and if they are watching us, how we all don't get along and bicker and experience all the hardships of the game of life, they are probably loling hard at us. and another funny thing, they designed the game in such a way that we as a whole will not stop playing, there will always be new people forced into this game without even given a choice whether they wanna play or not and a lot of them get bad start and the game is already rigged so hard against them that they may not even enjoy it at all. one day the game may end for our whole race but it may also restart and repeat itself infinitely and maybe that is the case even now but sadly we do not remember if we played it before

i was ready for "HELLO INTEERNET, WELCOME TO GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME THEORY"

2:34 That my friend is not how you move a chess piece.

Studying game theory could actually help you win an among us game.

Hey Aperture, I’m letting you know that I appreciate your diligence when making these videos. These are part of my evening routine, and I watch them right before bed to unwind and relax. It’s almost like reading a book. These videos let my mind wander and loosen up, and I really am grateful for you and your content.

You are not first, You are not last, But most certainly Nobody asked

Life is like solving a puzzle, then finding out it still doesn't make sense

You win if you are truly satisfied with your life. I have not yet won, but I am on the right path.

Hello internet. Welcome to GAME THEORY

‘Are you the type of person to analyse every second of the interaction you just had with someone for hours on end?’ Me: mmhmm ‘Or are you normal’ Oh...

Would be so dope to see a colab between Aperture and GameTheory

This actually helps me out alot. I spend alot of time trying to guess what others will do before they do it, whether it be people trying and get closer to me as a individual, insult me or my work, or simply just having a good chat for a short while. Most of these predictions are pretty accurate, either because of me self-fulfilling these prophecies or actual good guesswork. Either way, hyper analyzing these small, sometimes insignificant interactions that I have with others is something I enjoy pondering on, this video reaffirms that its not a waste of time, just a fun way to pass it.

this goes to show that life is literally just a game.

"Winning [tac-tact-toe] requires both players to respond optimally to what the other player is doing." Correction: for tic-tact-toe, winning requires the other player to NOT play optimally. If both players play optimally, it's always a tie... Such a dumb game... LOL

But HEY, That's just a theory, a GAME THEORY, Thanks for watching!

Here i were watching movie trailers, and here i am keenly listening and observing to everything in this video, and yet not understanding a single information. It called youtube recommending theory.

Aperture you're the reason why I have an existential crisis during class.

This man is seriously brilliant. Love your vids man keep up the good work

I’m never going to get over the fact that every time i revist your channel for a rewatch of your videos, you upload the next day. its wild.

Imagine someone with a good knowledge of psychology that also studies game theory. He'd be a pretty formidable opponent in just about anything

Yoooo I haven’t watched it but I know this shit gonna be good

Everything has limits and knowing when to use what and what its limits are is true wisdom , not just knowledge.

Wow, you really nailed the introduction part of the video, with the explanations and stuff, great job man

Aperture, I love your vids man. Your channel is so unique and special to me. Keep up the great work!

When I play the game of life I always lose aha-

Awesome video man.....you never disappoint on your delivery.

this video came up just when i started studying game theory. thanks, aperture. it was, and still is, indeed very helpful.

"And the reason to win, so you can be free of it" - Love that. Go spiritual and stay present. Wont solve all, but helps =)

Such calm and soothing voice! I love it ❤

Aperture, I love your videos. Keep up the great work!!!!! :)

Always love all your videos!! Really found a great intellectual channel on youtube! Thank you.. 👍 I guess I needed to understand why people play games in life and with other people and their feelings and what is the outcome they want to achieve out of those games.. Your point on people choose the outcome on the things that most benefits them is the most accurate!! Explains a lot about people and how their minds work!!👍💯

Girl at 3:23 be like "Sure, if losing my queen is the obvious price to pay for eating your horse I'll pay it gladly. I hate friggin' horses"

Cats: meow Dogs: woof 9-year-olds: *FIRST FIRST*

I was just literally thinking it’s been a while since Aperture made a video and then boom Haha thanks for uploading 💪💪💪

I swear this channel has the same vibe as summoning salt's, And I love it.

Life’s a lot cooler once you realize you’ve been doing the equivalent to grinding in world of Warcraft in your life for the past few decades. Also thanks for the video dude. It’s almost always that after I have a in depth conversation with someone about a topic you come out with a video relating to it. Get out of my head haha. Or maybe we’re just sharing the same collective consciousness huh. Thanks anyways

"We're just trying to win the game of life. And the reason to win is so that you can be free of it."... That last line was a bit dark.

A very good one. Please do some more on this and related topics.

Your Videos are so deep i love them!

You forgot the caveat of the prisoners dilemma; where the police lie to both of them. The police say to both prisoners that the other one already ratted.

I came here expecting Game Theory jokes I wasn't disappointed

I really love these kind of videos

You have the best videos. They inspire me and drive me to who I seek to become. Thanks bro. I believe there will be a day where we will meet. Best to you.

Can we just appreciate the letter coloring at 2:37

Great video man! I did my final year project on game theory and it was fascinating. My supervisor told me I'd never look at the world in the same way again... and he was right! This whole Covid thing is basically one big game of N-player prisoner's dilemma. Some people are defecting against most of us cooperating and the defectors are really spoiling it for the cooperators. This is a simplistic analysis as it's more complicated than that since defectors may be affected negatively by their own actions but the principle is there.

Aperture, I love your videos. Keep up the great work!!!!! :). this goes to show that life is literally just a game..

Easily the best RU-vidr out here

One thing to be aware of, just like how other players have an impact on your game, you have the chance of making those impacts as well.

You make me want to buy stocks! The highlight of my day is when I get a notification for a new Aperture video. Keep it up I am vested in the success of this channel! You really make amazing content!

You’re so close to a mill! If any, you deserve it most

Super fascinating topic, thank you for reminding me how much it interests me! I'll go enroll in an online course about it ^^

The fear of knowing you would be whacked if you didn't stay quiet was enough of a solution for many at one point.

As someone who overthinks EVERY decision I make in life, I finally understand now why I do it 😅

A great way to end my day in a nice chill way 😌

Ahhh waited all day for this

You should make this a podcast and I'd listen to them everyday. Nice video as always!

This man just cracked everyone’s head open into their “game section” and just dug 5 layers deep into it

this is extremely well produced

"The concept of trying to guess the other player's decision is what makes the game so tricky." That's so true. Even though it's only predictions, if you can base them on facts, or previous actions, or even just the other player's personality, it'd be that much easier to win.

Ok boys, what game should we play next?

This "strategic" way of looking at life as a game of winners and losers really hurts us as a species. Who is one to claim what the game is? Who is one to claim what is the right way to play it? There is no such answer, for there are no winners nor losers in life, only beings, trying to survive. Life isn't a competition that can be "won". Life is simply existance that an individual can interpret in an infinite amount of ways. Life is different for everyone, no experience is the same.

well Explained about Game Theory...thanks Apertue

Wonderful video, keep up the good work 🙏👍🙏

so this isn't *JUST A THEORY, A GAME THEORYYYYYY*

this video: has a name relating to the topic it’s about the comments: *”BUT THAT’S JUST A THEORY”*

I would listen to this guy talk about everything everyday

I am glad this video was uploaded

Missed opportunity to end with "BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY A GGGAAAAAAAAAMMMMME THEORY, Thanks for watching."

Aperture (describes exactly what I do) Then says “or are you normal” Me: “She told me put my heart in a bag and nobody gets hurt now Im running from her love so Im making it worse”

“Sometimes you lose without even playing”😔 I felt that

i could not miss this!

Another video to give us existential crisis and anxiety

But Hey! that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY!

Your almost at a Million!! My favorite channel been here since 20K!

i love your videos man

'Sorry it's a game where no winner' Oh hello, you're alive

Can we apply game theory to find "who is an Imposter????"

Do you have a Podcast because I would listen to ur voice everyday!!!

Aperture, can you make paradox explanations like inventors paradox? And the video is equally brilliant. Thank you

This like almost proves entropy.

Dattebayo

Thank you for the video

Beautiful discussion

So guys, data is important. Thats the way tech firms earns trillions.

This is just Death Note in a Nutshell Light: I thought of something... L: I knew you had thought of something so I thought of something to backfire your thought Light: haha you fool I thought of something you never would have guessed and now you're in my trap L: no no I knew the whole time, now I'm winning .... for a whole 30-something episodes

I love how he doesn't put it out there that they're insanely close to 1 mil and actively asks to subscribe

Game Theory, such an important topic in the field of Macroeconomics.

BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY

But that’s just a Theory..: An Aperture Theory.... The hell u think I was gonna say

I have something similar to this. Whenever I finish doing something or see something, I think in my head all the possibilities that could've happened.

not me imma loose this damn game ಥ‿ಥ
