My dude you are living it. This is the most present and surface example of game theory existing out of academia
if game theory dictated human behavior, and if you are right about the options and outcomes, then no one would vote third party. so either you're wrong about the options and outcomes, or game theory doesn't dictate human behavior
In many countries, third parties are very viable. In this particular election, in the US, they are not.
Game theory happens to humans weather they acknowledge it or not. What you are experiencing is the illusion of choice in an outcome constrained system.
there is no point in bickering about this. go read the wikipedia article and argue with the editors there.
Agree. You WILL see Biden or trump as the next president. Depending on where you live, your may have helped that along. You may not like what your helped.
I am not wrong. You are in a constrained system. You have no extra choices. Believe what you like, live with what you do.
Edit you've not once suggested a meaningful rebuttal. You're position is without merit.
no, i'm not. it's fundamentally dishonest to tell someone they are.
You ARE! Biden or trump will be your next president, and your votes can only :
Help Biden Help trump Hurt Biden Hurt trump.
That's it.
i mean to vote against biden and trump.
And will thus help one of them. Good job!
only a vote for a candidate helps that candidate
I'm condescending you now, then blocking you:
This is not true. You are being a fool, and emotion is driving you.
oh, thank god
"blissful ignorance! Uninterrupted!"
i thought you were blocking me. do it and you can have your blissful, uninterrupted ignorance.. please.
Oh I thought no. Participation was your thing
this is hard to grok but i hope you find that block button soon
"I hope I have an outcome ina system with 2 choices, by using my voice (in a comment)"
You're so.fucking close
why would you lie so obviously about how votes are counted or whether you are going to use the block button? anyone can see the lie.
Prove me wrong.
it's prima facie
Wrong, I named many established concepts, I didn't invent those ideas.
naming them does not mean you understand them.
Your comment suggests your ready to educate.
Choose!
I know that you are dishonest so I'll not be helping you with anything except rectifying your dishonesty and finding that block button
You still lack the ability to assert yourself, only complain. You'll get there.
First choice: either we keep talking it we don't. How do you choose?
you lied about blocking me. no matter how you characterize my position, you are the dishonest actor.
I said I was going to. I will yet. It's my choice when
saying this doesn't make it true
Attempt anything at all, all you've done so far is whine
characterizing me correcting you and calling out your lies and bullying as whining doesn't bolster your position
My position is well supported by history, theory and action. Yours by emotion.
your position depends on someone believing a vote for cornel west is a vote for trump. it's an absurdity.
your position is dubious and the subject of serious debate.
i will not be helping either of them.
Again, you don't understand being choice limited. Depending on where you live, doing nothing will help trump.
That's fine, just be aware of your actions. That's the game theory. Even not voting is a choice.
only a vote for trump helps trump
For crabs yes.
saying i am doesn't make it so. i will have at least 4 names on my ballot.
