A lone journey to neverland

It's just a long journey of being without anyone, but none other only with myself.

Not Nash-ian at all

You said:
Actually, Nash is an optimistic, though he's a loner too, just like you:).

Compared to the two founders of game theory (i.e. Von Neumann and Morgenstern, one of them is Nash's supervisor, I forgot which one), Nash is optimistic. He believed and succeed to prove that cooperative repeated games, instead non-cooperative ones, among two or multiple players with different interests is possible.

The line: Repeated games! the second or even the fifteenth iteration may not give you the optimum solution yet...but who knows the sixteenth will....


*Is he? Ah... I wish all loners are pessimistic. It paints the dull page of life with color, however black or gloom*
