It’s gotta be a joke. I hope.

I was actually kinda disappointed when I found out that Game Theory had nothing to do with games, and was actually just math. 😩

I'm indifferent to the content, but I fucking hate that they took the name Game Theory. I can't talk about this genuinely fascinating topic just about anywhere without kids screaming about the channel.

for the longest time, i did know that game theory did not have anything to do with "games" and that it is somehow connected to the prisoners dilemma, but the concept as such wasn't very clear to me. If you are like my former me, take 30 minutes out of your day and visit https://ncase.me/trust/ to learn and play around with game theory; it's a great webpage and it's pretty good fun all around.

I took Game Theory and the professor's first name was Patrick. Some ID for something related to the course (that he chose himself) was "patmath".

It's been a thing for a century, YouTubers didn't invent words.

Game theory final exam:

Full Marks (100%):

You will receive full marks if you answer all questions correctly and at least 70% of the class chooses the "Full Marks" strategy.

If you answer all questions correctly but fewer than 70% of the class chooses the "Full Marks" strategy, your grade will be 90%

Half Marks (50%):

You will receive half marks if you answer all questions correctly but at least 30% of the class chooses the "Half Marks" strategy.

If you choose this strategy and the class distribution aligns as specified, your grade will be 50% irrespective of the correctness of your answers.

Fail (0%) with Incentive:

You will receive a failing grade if you choose the "Fail" strategy or if your answers are incorrect and less than 30% of the class chooses the "Fail" strategy.

If you choose the "Fail" strategy and at least 30% of the class also chooses the "Fail" strategy, you will receive a special incentive: Automatic 'A' grade in the next course module, regardless of your performance in this exam.

Additionally, if more than 70% of the class chooses "Fail" or "Half Marks" strategies combined, everyone will fail regardless of individual choices.

The game theory course at my university was called "Poker 101"

Is there a YouTuber/streamer named "Game" or something?

It is now an umbrella term for the science of rational decision making in humans, animals, and computers.

Sounds too academic for me

Northernlion class is lectured by the librarian.

when you drive past the university entrance's brand new million dollar fountain to get to the shit-tier computers in the cramped as fuck computer lab, then you start wondering if it was always like this
