Mission Impossible: In Search of Strangers in New York City

Just like the movie Crash, this interesting show which relates to the daunting task of finding two strangers in NYC reminds me of how much life is a game… It’s called Game Theory…

It [game theory] is the science of strategy. It’s recognizing that the success of what you do depends on what other people do…

It all depends on you thinking about what that other person is thinking… To me it seems extremely time consuming but the truth of the matter is that if you don’t think about it or if you don’t have an open relationship with your other significant, you are forced to play a game even if you don’t want to. It’s all a mind game no matter what you say or do… the minute you meet someone your playing the game. The minute you plan an event, or simply consider doing something with someone else… your a player.

John Nash, the mathematician featured in the movie “A Beautiful Mind,” won the Nobel Prize for his work in game theory, proving there’s a way for everyone in a group to be happy with the outcome.

So… there’s a theoretical explanation for what I’ve been thinking about. Life is a game… I simply need to balance both sides of the equation in order to be happy on the inside, although on the outside I appear to be happy already… A little bit of physics, calculus, mind games and reality go a long way… aunque uno no lo crea…
