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.

    I never understood how anyone can talk about “human nature” in a vacuum. People behave based on their material surroundings. Its human nature to have a certain portion of the population be serial killers, but most societies punish that kind of behavior. People raised in relative poverty are more likely to do crime. People that are racialized have difficulty getting better jobs, and thus many of them are in poverty. “Human nature” is an abdication of reason.
