This man is a villain hiding in plain sight, I used to find the things he says interesting, I even read his book on game theory and learned a lot from it but the more I watched him talk in his pompous style the more I his malignant narcissism became clear. He is very good at game theory but also does a lot of projection. Game theory is an incredible source of narcissistic supply, you can always argue in favour of some sub-game that can be exploited at the expense of the collective. So you either find one of those games and exploit it or you turn around and accuse the other of playing it. Did this man not work for Valve as head of economics, and got rich, like you know a tech bro? He has said in an interview that after he was kicked out of the government of Greece he never spoke again with the then prime minister, just ghosted the man. Like all the time this little personal conflicts with everyone because they don't agree with his communist worldview. There are plenty of people with a big ego like Steven Wolfram or Nicolas Nassim Taleb, but I don't detect this kind of nasty hatred in what they do, they are just big nerds with a big brain. Maybe he was not always like this, but the more I heard him speak the more I thought I was listening to a hate preacher.
