Some of you might find this interesting, Just watched the first episode of this yesterday. Can't believe i missed it when it aired in march.

You can watch it on google video, or download it.

Here's the link to the wiki page as i think it explains it alot better than i would.

Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I remember this series mainly for being very complicated. I don't believe that cold-war era 'game theory' is still being applied to our attitudes, desision making and life choices as a collective in a modern society. Seems a bit far fetched to me. Did i miss the point? I'd agree to an extent that some of us act mainly out of self interest but this is just one of the many things we are capable of as human beings.

    I think they still use the game theory, not so much in everyday life though, It showed that we're not all paronoid anyway, with the tests they did on the secretary's they always choose to trust each other. Although your always going to get the people who don't trust and you wouldn't trust.

    Where as it's obvious that on a country basis no one trusts anyone and it's easy to understand why when there run by greedy fucks.
