Ocean11 0 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 db, have you read "The Evolution of Cooperation" by Axelrod? It considers how cooperation develops through self-interest using the prisoner's dilemma as proof. You would probably enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Ocean, I have not read that one, looks interesting though, thanks. Very timely actually as I have recently started some reading on game theory. I just bought Prisoner's Dilemma/John Von Neumann, Game Theory and the Puzzle of the Bomb. by Poundstone. Yet to read it. My GF is half way through and enjoying it. cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Kintaro, not intended as an attack at Christian thinking, but I recently attempted to Read Why I am not Christian by Bertrand Russel. It was a little too much to take in at the time, a second attempt is required. Let us know what the book is like, my GF may be interested in reading it. hmm, new thread idea.

Fattwins 0 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 After finishing lord of the rings I went for some easy fluff read. The typical clancy style but not written by him. I too ordered the harry potter book. I read it at first to understand what my students were talking about but now Im hooked. Going to buy some avie books when I head home to Canada in 2 weeks.
