Episode 143: Life and the concept of the game

In this episode, I introduce the concept of the game as a
framework for understanding reality. I define a game as anything
with rules and a goal. Life is a series of nested games, and all
of us are playing many games simultaneously. A large part of the
share of human suffering on this planet derives from the fact
that at any moment we are forced to choose which of several games
we want to win and which of several games we are willing to lose.
I illustrate this with a concrete example.
