38 min - Hunt a Deer to Together: The Stag Hunt ProblemIn this episode, the boys review an element of Game Theory that seems to fly in the face of every basic tenant of self-interest.The Stag Hunt, established by French Philosopher Jean-Jacque Rousseau in his work "Discourse on Inequality," creates a game wherein two hunters can either work together to secure a large shared bounty or work separately for a significantly smaller bounty.This contradicts the Prisoner's Dilemma in which self-interest is always the rational move. In the Stag Hunt, collaboration is the way to go.CONNECT WITH US:Game Theory on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gametheorypodGame Theory on Twitter: @GameTheoryPod https://twitter.com/GameTheoryPodNick on Twitter: @tribnic https://twitter.com/tribnicChris on Twitter: @ChrisAndrews315 https://twitter.com/ChrisAndrews315 Read the Blog: http://bit.ly/3R05Y2P **Googliography**Stag Hunt:Source of basic description and David Hume examples:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stag_hunt#Examples_of_the_stag_huntMore info on Hume: https://www.britannica.com/biography/David-HumeRousseau's Discourse on Inequality: http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~bskyrms/bio/papers/StagHunt.pdfMore info on Rousseau: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jean-Jacques-RousseauCornell blog: https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2015/09/21/the-stag-hunt-theory-and-the-formation-social-contracts/Carousel feeding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carousel_feeding51 min
About Game Theory
From the publisher's feed
Speakeasy conversation about strategy, competition, economics, history, and policy from two non-experts.
The episodes include some actual economic Game Theory such as the Prisoner's Dilemma, the Traveler's Dilemma, and the Public Good game. Episodes also include conversations on dilemmas in TV/Movies, sports, and board/card games, as well as the history of military, intelligence (spies), politics, and economics.
The objective is simply to think critically about how people make strategic choices regarding the world around them and most importantly, about the people around them.
