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.

    It’s a useful way of viewing risk/reward and it’s not incompatible with communist theory.

    For example, if you take the prisoner’s dilemma and change the risk/reward structure, you can change the equilibrium such that it’s far more likely to have people cooperate.

    Unfortunately, that’s not really something that people talk about all that often, because it’s only used to optimize winnings for one party, not to optimize for maximum societal benefit.
