I think my favorite thing is when the idea of game theory was torn apart because it was largely developed by running behavioral experiments on economics undergraduate males and they were mostly sociopaths so the idea of the "perfectly rational" response to many situations is literally heartless and insanely anti-social win-lose games.

When they expanded the behavior economics experiments it all fell apart because when assholes are playing dominance games the other people will just take their chips and stop interacting with the sociopaths. The most profitable strategy in a normal community is focusing on win-win strategies not win-lose strategies.

Watching that be clearly explained was absolutely hilarious as a woman who went back to school late in life after wearing the caretaker role often. Like, yes obviously that was never a realistic model of successful behavior in society and that so many people thought it was is the main reason we're in this shitty situation now 🤣
