I, for one, would watch this show
Alex Tabarrok proposes So You Think You Can Be President? One proposed segment: Game Theory: Candidates compete in a game of Diplomacy. I would also include several ringers - say Robin Hanson, Bryan Caplan and Salma Hayek. Why these three? Robin is cold, calculating and merciless - make a logical mistake and he will make you pay. Bryan is crafty and experienced. And Salma? I couldn't refuse her anything but presidents should be made of stronger stuff so we need a test.Diplomacy and Salma. Oh, that's hot. posted by Dan on 08.22.07 at 09:42 PM Comments: US-Iraq We have a sitting president, instead of playing these games how about a serious critique of his latest speech on Iraq? posted by: Qingdao on 08.22.07 at 09:42 PM [permalink]Can someone explain how the reference to "The Quiet American" got into his speech? posted by: Joe Klein's conscience on 08.22.07 at 09:42 PM [permalink]How many women has Dan ever known who play Diplomacy? posted by: Zathras on 08.22.07 at 09:42 PM [permalink]Funny comment, Cain. Salma H. could win a game of Diplomacy even as Italy. posted by: Useless Sam Grant on 08.22.07 at 09:42 PM [permalink]1. _Diplomacy_ is the ultimate game of realist foreign policy -- "no allies, only interests" and so forth. 2. What about _Supremacy_ which includes technology and economics as well as military conflict and diplomatic maneuvering? posted by: John Fast on 08.22.07 at 09:42 PM [permalink]Post a Comment: |
