The Games People Play -

As we move steadily into the era of Game Theory, a number of observations are apparent. The first is that 'game' cannot be defined, as Wittgenstein proved. It is a form known from before in the Kantian sense. That intrigues me. The second is that a proper game properly played is a moral exercise. In the area most popularized in Game Theory study, it is a moral and economic exercise. That pleases and surprises me.
During the golden age of Liberalism in the postwar period, there was much talk of man's inhumanity to man. Today we would say human beings' inhumanity to human beings. We have improved our language but vicious exploitation described in a PC vocabulary is still vicious exploitation. If a game is properly played to a moral precept then only in a failed game would inhumanity occur since no economic game could be inhumane by design or logic. It would make no sense and only make cents for a limited time.
We have apparent games going now that exploit human beings for the benefit of other human beings. There exists no morality of game play that permits this. These are failed games eating away at the fabric of society. Anytime you are cruel to another human being it is an aberration. It is not a game. It is not moral and it will not stand the test of economic success.
Be well and do good.
