Game Theory
No, not the MatPat's Game Theory video you saw on YouTube. This is another game theory that really exists.
From Wikipedia,
Game theory is the study of mathematical models of strategic interaction between rational decision-makers.[1] It has applications in all fields of social science, as well as in logic and computer science.The game theory is not static, but a dynamic process.
You might ask why it is dynamic, and actually, the real world is a series of dynamic changes.
Children think that their world is static, they think that they are the center of the world.
The outside world is as consistent as they think, so children can not afford to meet setbacks or be rejected.
But the problem is that there are still many adults who have the same worldview as children.
They still believe that the world is a static process of consistency, but I want you to remember that the world is dynamic and always in the process of changing.
Don't be discouraged or sad when you are frustrated or rejected by others, because the world is changing dynamically.
You can accept this feedback in an inclusive manner and improve yourself.
And understanding the game theory allow you to have this attitude to face the real changes, and can have a strong pre-judgment ability. We have learned a little bit more or less about psychology so that we have a sense of control over others by understanding human nature and knowing the psychology of others.
But I think this is not good enough, if you want to achieve real control, I think you need to know a little more about the game theory. Game theory is the control of other people's behavior. If you have a game-theory mindset, you will take a few steps ahead than others and can control others.
Of course, game theory is a very complex knowledge, I will just talk about the interesting part.
Game theory in real life
Man and woman who are flirting with each other is a kind of game theory. We assume that the woman's strategy is to confessing her love and not confessing her love, same goes to the man.
So there will be four kinds of situation, the woman confesses but the man doesn’t confess, the woman doesn’t confess but the man confess, the woman doesn’t confess and the man doesn’t confess too, and the woman and the man both confess.
Flirting belongs to the situation where both man and woman are not confessing. This is the best strategy for both sides, because there is a risk of getting rejected, and everyone is reluctant to get rejected and wait for others to take action.
Of course, the best case is when both of them confess to each other, but this is obviously very difficult because they don’t know what the other side thinks of them.
But remember, these four situations are the result, not the game theory. The real game theory is how you want to push out the results you want. For example, how can you make the woman confess first and get into a relationship with her.
I believe everyone has the experience of buying things from the store. If you want the best price and relatively high-quality products, you will bargain with the seller: "If you sell me cheaper, I will buy from you again next time."
As a seller, he/she sure wants to sell a little more expensive so that he/she earns a little more, but you as a customer want a little bit cheaper.
You see through this game theory, you take the initiative to break the rules and establish a new balance. It's good for both sides that you buy more for his/her cheap.
Speaking of which, I would like to tell you that the game theory is based on different situations, and you have to identify his/her character and the actions he/she can make.
For example, in school, our role is students, your classmates have two actions which is to skip class and not skip class. This is the most basic of a judgment, you also have to follow the specific situation followed by analysis.
Speculate on his final action, and then you will be able to take the best of your strategy and control the others.
If you have the idea of game theory in mind, you will see a different perspective on the problem. You can easily find the crux of the problem.
But whether you can untie this knot depends on your ability and pattern.
The game theory is very complex, it is a dynamic change. This is a test of your ability to predict how many steps a person can take.
Of course, if you have a larger scale, it is better to find a winning method directly. But the greed of human leads us all to defeat.
Finally, I want to say is that humans are silly, you don’t have to keep using the game theory method. Sometimes, act silly once a while is better, there is no need to spend all day to deduce others.
But Hey, That's Just a Theory, A Game Theory! - MatPat
