I’ve seen game theory brought up as being incredibly useful for understanding reality, like the new cold war and the Al Aqsa Flood. Pretty much everyone I’ve seen praise it has been a lib though.

    its good math absolutely horrible psychology(because its not meant to be). If u want insight into the logic and math it is meant to describe then yeah its great and its cool if u want insight into the motives and future actions of people which is what it is generally sold as in pop science settings and grifts its not insightful at all. It is a field of mathematics u wouldn’t study calculus to understand people better game theory is no different, the idea that it would help is ridiculous.
