POPSHow a simple mathematic formula is starting to explain the bizarre prevalence of altruism in society This new mathematic model for society’s evolution is particularly interesting because not only it reveals a logic behind the large numbers of cooperators that we know exist in all human societies, but also it gives us a glimpse of the principles that can help “pushing” them into a better, fairer, path. Evolutionary game theory is a mathematical approach used to study (and predict) the evolution of social interactions, in which the study of conflict and decision-making is treated – like its name indicates – as a game.

POPSHuman Wins in "Man vs. Machine" Scrabble Competition! Fighting the evil robot uprising, one Scrabble tile at a time. Kramer had the choice of spelling a five-letter word and picking up all the remaining tiles. Rather, he used four tiles to complete the word "meeter" on the board, leaving one available tile and confounding the computer. Kramer explained that if he had picked up all the remaining tiles, the computer would have known exactly what he had in his rack. But by leaving one behind, he stymied it. "That's just something hard for the program to solve. There are too many possibilities," Kramer said. Who's the Genius now?

POPSLet's play a game. Laugh! Learn! Be Happy! Game Rules: All one need do is answer the following questions honestly and if one chooses, play the game with others and discuss your answers thoughtfully and with care.* Remember: This is a game--a thought game. You are merely thinking hypothetically how you determine your answers to the questions. You only have to think temporarily 'what if there is no god.' After you have answered the questions, consider how your thoughts and behaviors change or do not change based on whether you assume the existence of a god. IT'S ONLY A GAME!! Laugh! Learn! Be Happy!
