Re: Hidden assumptions

[Ray Evans Harrell]

Steve,   Can you talk more about the Games.    Such Strategic Giving games have made most of this country "Free Riders" on the backs of the Fine Arts establishment.    This in one way or another is what I have been writing about on Futurework for the past six years or so.    I would like to know more about what you have read.   Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Kurtz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2002 5:25 PM Subject: Re: Hidden assumptions Arthur writes: Make me think that the fundamentalists (of whatever religion) may be on to a good thing. Our society is clearly foundering. ------------------------------------ Woah. Before the spirit in the gene (one embodiment is the seeking of answers for earthly problems via superstition & mysticism) takes over the thinking on this list! :-), I suggest a look at a book I'm reading by a Canadian Philosophy Prof. (see below)  Prisoners Dilemma, Social Contracts, Game Theory are a part of it. Responsibilities and voluntary giving up of *some* individual freedoms for *better* outcomes for individuals and society is what I've gotten out of the first 70 pgs.
