I haven't seen so much effort put into a set in years. This would decent if it wasn't so damn propogandistic. Of course the message is "communism hates science".

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

When it's taken out of its original context, understanding the behavior of perfectly rational risk-minimizers in systems of rules, it usually is pseudo science shit.
Which doesn't actually exist anyway
Exactly! It's a mathematical fiction!
Are you telling me that happiness, democracy, freedom index is all fake?
The username fits
Is there a context in which the concept of a "perfectly rational risk minimizer" is a useful construct to explore?
Absolutely! It's very useful in communications theory. I'm thinking specifically of MIMO networks, in which game theory can be useful to find resource (ie power) allocations that allow the best power/channel capacity tradeoff. Here, the agents are nodes in a communication network, and the risk is how much power they spend to put signals into the network. Game theory is important in this kind of comm. problem because the optimal policy for any individual node's power allocation depends on the strategies of the nodes they're communicating with.
That makes sense, thank you.
