What are Non-Zero-Sum Games?

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

lundi 28 avril 2025 • Durée 05:55

From the genetic lottery we're thrown into at birth, to the educational opportunities we navigate, the jobs we compete for, and the relationships we cultivate—every stage in life is marked by wins and losses, strategies and tactics, alliances, and competition. But not all games are zero-sum showdowns. To understand non-zero-sumness it helps to consider "sum" different types of games.

The Ultimatum Game

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

mercredi 4 juin 2025 • Durée 03:35

Take-it-or-leave-it.

In this game, you are given $10. To keep the money, you have to give a portion of this $10 away to another player. If we take the contained, rational and self-interested assumptions of game theory, the dominant strategy is simple: give the other player as little as possible. The catch is, if the other player rejects your offer, you both get nothing.

Unlocking Solutions

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

dimanche 4 mai 2025 • Durée 10:44

Coordination Problems are situations in Game Theory where coordinated solutions are required to solve complex problems, like those we've explored with Moloch—where we end up complicit in our own downfall. And we'll be exploring this through a story about one of my many childhood mishaps.

Moloch's Demise ~ Solving the Original Problem

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 2 mai 2025 • Durée 04:12
