The new rules established trust in an international framework that allowed global trade to expand and increase global prosperity because it meant that countries could not artificially manipulate their currencies at will.
PeterHOST
28:16
Again, as Game Theory predicts, the agreement showed that when countries worked together with a clear understanding of the rules, prosperity was enhanced for all.
PeterHOST
28:23
But in 1971, the U.S. unilaterally terminated a critical aspect of the system, the conversion of the U.S. dollar to gold.
PeterHOST
28:30
And with that, the change created a system where the U.S. dollar, a fiat currency subject to domestic agenda, was the backbone of the world's economic order.
David Del PinoHOST
12:50
A self-defeating prophecy, if you like.
David Del PinoHOST
12:53
It brings to mind John Nash and Game Theory.
David Del PinoHOST
12:57
Each farmer acting rationally, from his own individual perspective, contributes to an irrational collective outcome.
David Del PinoHOST
13:06
It's kind of a prisoner's dilemma.
Mark SuthernsPANELIST
18:13
And Pete is absolutely right.
Mark SuthernsPANELIST
18:14
I'm reading this book at the moment, which is Game Theory, how luck and analytics shape football.
Mark SuthernsPANELIST
18:19
Really interesting.
Mark SuthernsPANELIST
18:20
When you read that, it helps reassure you that, You know, you're not under control of everything in a football match.
Joshua SchallHOST
4:01
We need to look past visual design.
Joshua SchallHOST
4:03
Therefore, in my latest content, I'll map this market loosely using my often cited strategic forecasting matrix built on three pillars, cultural forces, contextual demand spaces, and game theory.
Joshua SchallHOST
4:15
But let's jump into the first pillar because to understand why a consumer rips open a case of praise energy instead of buying an 18 pack of Celsius at Costco, you must understand the macro cultural forces at play.
Joshua SchallHOST
4:29
Essentially, Modern consumers view everything they drink as a billboard for their identity.
Joshua SchallHOST
7:21
But when the church officially clarified in 2012 that cold caffeinated soda was permitted under the doctrine, it unleashed a massive wave of pent-up demand.
Joshua SchallHOST
7:31
And since coffee shops remained largely locked out, soda QSRs like Swig engineered a menu that fully complies with strict theological parameters and effectively became the Mormon community's equivalent of the Starbucks morning ritual.
Joshua SchallHOST
7:44
Now, let's look at the ultimate test of market viability and the last pillar of my strategic forecasting matrix, game theory.
Joshua SchallHOST
7:52
How do these energy drink startups scale when playing on a proverbial chessboard dominated by incumbents like Red Bull, Monster Energy, with the help of Coca-Cola, and Celsius Holdings with the help of PepsiCo? These faith-focused beverage startups possess a massive structural advantage called incumbent immobilization.
HiloHOST
48:39
So let's talk about that.
HiloHOST
48:41
So I'm a game theory guy by trade, but I'm also a stats guy, and I'm also a math guy, and I'm also a film guy.
HiloHOST
48:47
I try and cover all the bases.
HiloHOST
48:50
In my opinion, that is the best way to get the most context when analyzing football.
Ariel RubinsteinGUEST
6:50
That's the criterion, in my opinion.
KiriakosHOST
6:54
So can you introduce us to some of these models in economic theory? I mean, I want to talk a little bit about bargaining theory and game theory, and perhaps if you could explain those kinds of things to us in simple terms too, and maybe that would be a good starting point for us.
Ariel RubinsteinGUEST
7:19
Okay.
Ariel RubinsteinGUEST
7:20
As I said before, economic theory is divided or can be divided into different type of literatures.
Ariel RubinsteinGUEST
8:55
And this was in the hegemonic status in the profession until more or less the 80s.
KiriakosHOST
9:05
Now, one
Ariel RubinsteinGUEST
9:06
of the revolutions that happens in economics in our lifetime is the move from models of general equilibrium or price theory into game theory.
Ariel RubinsteinGUEST
9:18
Game theory is about strategic interaction.
speaker_0HOST
18:36
This type of enforcement strikes us bizarre and galvanizes bipartisan opposition in Washington.
speaker_0HOST
18:42
And yet again, we have to resort to game theory to explain what it all means.
speaker_0HOST
18:46
And for future MBA students, it's a classic case of strategic mismanagement.
speaker_0HOST
18:51
Why? Because the pressure on Ukraine will prolong the war instead of ending it.
speaker_0HOST
20:53
If they meet, the equilibrium becomes Russia's terms.
speaker_0HOST
20:56
Except that Ukraine is only one item on Russia's sphere of influence list.
speaker_0HOST
21:01
In game theory terms, an agreement with no enforcement and an untrustworthy counterparty never becomes a self-sustaining equilibrium.
speaker_0HOST
21:08
So Washington is playing in advance for Russia's promises that have no value.

KertyGUEST
30:17
Yeah.
KertyGUEST
30:18
No, it's awesome.
KertyGUEST
30:20
To take this opportunity to talk a little game theory and just overall, I don't like saying the current state of Dynasty or edges and things like that, but there are so many models, there are so much projection, there are so many voices.
KertyGUEST
30:32
What are the edges left in Dynasty? How do you...
KertyGUEST
30:36
continue to stay ahead of curves what do you take from because to me everything's a learning experience so i've made enough mistakes to hopefully i learned from them in dynasty um so what's something that jacks has been doing with your process in order to maintain or find a new edge in the dynasty space
Matt EricksonHOST
44:36
So rather than the frame being focused on the specific event that's happening right now, it zooms out to what's the rule set that defines the behavior of the government.
Matt EricksonHOST
44:47
In game theory terms, this is a commitment device that makes the response function non-discretionary and therefore harder to frame as personal authoritarianism.
Matt EricksonHOST
44:55
In other words, when the government responds...
Matt EricksonHOST
44:59
They're not responding out of some...
Chris JourdanHOST
107:52
Like I have FOMO because I, I somehow missed that I could buy another box.
Chris JourdanHOST
107:57
I would have bought a box because I'm like, I'm in this, like, you've really got me in a pretzel how it's been gamified and having to force game theory decisions on like, do I rip this box? Do I send it in? Do I, I just, I want to rip more packs and I want to collect.
Chris JourdanHOST
108:12
So I want to, I want to, I want the reflections.
Chris JourdanHOST
108:14
I want to play the game long-term.
Chris JourdanHOST
108:17
but i also want to collect a complete set and like having such limited supply is is really making some of these early decisions somewhat challenging in a fun way like really enjoying it and i think that's what i'm seeing on the timeline isn't people talking about floor price and in big sales while they are more of the conversation is about people are excited about the cards they're collecting the art they're collecting and you know like if you look at my back wall it's full of this art that now is i can get on a collectible car it's just really really well done from game theory to you know the quality of the boxes the packs like i'm super impressed and to think you guys pulled this off in six months is is pretty impressive so flowers to you and the rest of the team and um i'm pumped man well really well done
FiggyGUEST
109:01
yeah thanks i appreciate that i mean there's there's alternative designs if other people were were thinking about them like we could have basically done a similar design but do it on like a fomo token So, you know, Solana, fungible tokens are quite liquid.
FiggyGUEST
109:19
So there's a lot of volume there.

It's extremely small supply for most TCGs to the point of like Pokemon, there's billions of cards being printed annually.
