My other favorite

place on the web currently is Wikipedia. Their top article is Game Theory. I first learned about the prisoner's dilemma in a college comparative politics class. As you read more about behavior science and game theory and the limbic system , it seems to imply that the universe really is far more ordered than our notions of personality, free will and individuality would have us believe. We just can't see the order/pattern.

Somewhere in the above system exists power. Power and maybe love and definitely sex seem to be the chaotic variables that prevent us from seeing an otherwise obvious pattern?

  1. Mr. Duffy and I love it that we now have a place to keep our political barometers in check while simultaneously catching up on our Justin Timberlake news... :)
