Game Theory Reflection blog

So what started out as "Watching a Beautiful Mind" in relation to John Nash and our psychology unit on Intelligence has turned into one of the more interesting units I have put together this year.  My experience with Game Theory, Prisoner Dilemma, Nash equilibrium, and John Nash himself had been very limited.  Realizing just how often and important the above play in our current lives politically, socially, economically, and historically has gave me a whole new perspective that I hadn't considered before.  I am interested to learn if you can apply the above theories to your lives and the world around you.  I am hoping you learned and now can consider how history and your daily life has been and will continue to be shaped by what we have learned in the last few weeks.  It would be great if at sometime in your life you can use the information and lessons learned to help you out in your quest for greatness-whatever the definition of that is.  On a separate blog answer/write the following:
