Game Theory

Got game?

This clip shows how ape and human learn differently. For the chimps, the object is the treat and for the children, the object is the game. Kids focus more on how the game is played than what the game produces. In another word, for us, the abstraction of the treat could be more rewarding than the treat itself.

Unfortunately, this also shows that how we learn is more susceptible through conditioning and repetition. Inherently, there is nothing wrong with learn by following, but following blindly can also explain why we tend to repeat mistakes and get lost in the head games.

So, is it possible to enjoy the game and know what the game is about at all times?
I don't see why not.
