Jewish game theory

 

 

Game theory is in fact a very simple theory which for some reason won many noble prizes – I think more due to its goodness than its genius.

 

Effectively it states, we gain more from collaboration than competition.

 

However in Africa and other localities (certainly Arabs etc.) they don’t believe in game theory, as they never experienced or saw collaboration.

 

Rather as game theorists would call it, they believe in zero sum game.

 

You or me!

 

It is only in societies where people can see how people collaborate that they believe that collaboration works.

 

As an added incentive, God teaches us, that the blessing of God resides only where there is collaboration, unity, harmony.
