In this episode, the hosts discuss various Christmas topics, including the mathematics of Christmas and the existence of Santa Claus. They also talk about their upcoming episodes and milestones. The conversation delves into the philosophical and mathematical proof of Santa Claus, drawing parallels to Descartes' philosophical arguments. The hosts explore undecidable statements in mathematics and the paradoxes they present. Finally, they discuss the game theory of gift giving and the concept of reciprocity. The conversation explores the commercialization of Christmas and the impact it has on gift-giving. It delves into the concept of Nash equilibrium and how it relates to gift-giving strategies. The discussion also touches on the burden of unwanted gifts and the dilemma of giving books as presents. Additionally, the popularity and influence of the Narnia series are discussed. The conversation concludes with a recommendation to choose fun and affordable gifts. Takeaways The mathematical proof of Santa Claus is based on philosophical arguments similar to Descartes' reasoning. Undecidable statements in mathematics demonstrate that there are some things that cannot be proven true or false. Gift giving involves more than just economic exchange; the joy and sentiment behind the gift are important factors. The game theory of gift giving considers factors such as reciprocity and the value of the gift. The hosts discuss upcoming episodes and milestones, including their 100th episode. The commercialization of Christmas has led to a focus on materialistic gift-giving. Nash equilibrium suggests that the goal of gift-giving is to receive the most, leading some to adopt a Scrooge-like approach. Competitive gift-giving can create an upward spiral of reciprocity, resulting in extravagant and sometimes burdensome presents. Strategies for successful gift-giving include focusing on volume over money and choosing gifts that align with the recipient's interests. Unwanted gifts can be a burden and may end up unused or discarded. Giving books as gifts can be challenging, especially when the recipient already has multiple copies. The Narnia series by CS Lewis has gained popularity among various demographics and is considered a classic in fantasy literature. Choosing fun and affordable gifts from stores like Hot Topic and FYE can make gift-giving enjoyable and budget-friendly.

This episode was originally published in 2021. As we spend Thanksgiving in Arizona, we hope you enjoy this blast from the past.  Contact: gametheorymedia1@gmail.com If you've been grossed out by the fact that stores opened on Thanksgiving day for Black Friday discounts, you're not alone. But, what if I said it wasn't their fault? They kind of had to. But, the worst part, is that shoppers also kind of had to. Black Friday is as American as Thanksgiving, but it's been starting earlier and earlier. It doesn't net the stores as much profit as you think and shoppers have to participate if they want the best deals.

He put that gift to use in the most lucrative way possible -- he hoodwinked the world of elite wine collections.  Rudy was born in the 1970s in Indonesia where his family has (allegedly) participated in one of the biggest bank heists in world history. (His great-uncle stole hundreds of millions in a fraudulent situation.)  Now, after serving his time for ripping off rich people, he has been deported to Indonesia, but his crime remains one of the most infamous and entertaining in recent memory.  ______________________________________________________________  Connect with us: BRAND NEW SUBREDDIT Shouts to Player 3 John for making it happen!  https://www.reddit.com/r/gametheorypod/comments/w35b8d/welcome_to_rgametheorypod/  Website: https://www.gametheorypod.com  Game Theory on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gametheorypod  Game Theory on Twitter: @GameTheoryPod https://twitter.com/GameTheoryPod  Nick on Twitter: @tribnic https://twitter.com/tribnic  Chris on Twitter: @ChrisAndrews315 https://twitter.com/ChrisAndrews315  __________________________________  Googliography:  Sour Grapes Documentary: https://www.amazon.com/Sour-Grapes-Rudy-Kurniawan/dp/B06XWJF7ZD  Rudy's Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Kurniawan --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gametheory/message

In 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/gametheorypod Game Theory on Twitter: @GameTheoryPod https://twitter.com/GameTheoryPod Nick on Twitter: @tribnic https://twitter.com/tribnic Chris 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_hunt More info on Hume: https://www.britannica.com/biography/David-Hume Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality: http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~bskyrms/bio/papers/StagHunt.pdf More info on Rousseau: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jean-Jacques-Rousseau Cornell 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_feeding --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gametheory/message

In medieval Chinese myth, a brilliant writer and strategizer documented the best strategies of the day in a book called the thirty-six stratagems. In the separation subsection, there's a bluff called the "Empty Fort Strategy." This strategy is so crazy, that it just might work.  It enters into the realm of reverse and reverse-reverse psychology in the manner that a bluff in poker does.  In this episode, the guys talk about the Empty Fort Strategy, military bluffs, and general one-upmanship in competition --------------------------------------------------.  Email the guys: gametheroymedia1@gmail.com Subscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3pderlY Find the show on FB: https://www.facebook.com/gametheorypod ------------------------------------------------- Googlyography: EMPTY FORT STRATEGY Wikipedia: Empty Fort Strategy Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Fort_Strategy#:~:text=The%20Empty%20Fort%20Strategy%20is,listed%20in%20the%20following%20sections.

Ep 8  YouTube: https://bit.ly/3igjccJ Cicadas are so unathletic and unimpressive that they need a weird adaptation to survive. That adaptation is power in numbers. When they emerge, there are far too many of them for predators to eat them all. Also, they aren't above ground for long enough for preditors to adapt and focus solely on them. Humans do something similar in large groups or mobs. Think of the infamous Malice at the palace or the capitol riots. In those cases, there are going to be some people who participated just passively enough to get away with it because the authorities just can't possible get them all. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gametheory/message
