Do you ever get an idea that you think could actually work? Ever come up with some form of invention that possibly could be the next best thing since sliced bread? I'm sure it happens to us all and I have just had another one

If we all go for the blond and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no one likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blond? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win. It's the only way we all get laid.

On the contrary, I was agreeing with you. The Nash Equilibrium is a sub-set of game theory which suggests (at a most basic level) that "everybody gets along" for the best outcome.
What Mr. Nash recognized was that in any sort of strategic interaction, the best choice for any single player depends critically on his beliefs about what the other players might do. Mr. Nash proposed that we look for outcomes in which each player is making an optimal choice, given the choices the other players are making.

I know it is a huge leap to even imagine everyone working together. It'd be complete chaos probably. It will be a long time before it's even considered. Now, move your pawn away from my knight.
Thanks guy. Every time someone wishes me Happy Birthday, I have another beer. It's almost 3 PM here and I've had 8 so far. The best thing I got today was a card from my cousin that played that old tune - "Tequila" and it had $30.00 in it! Pretty cool. Maybe I'm not that bad of an old fart.
