Imagine a saloon where people gather to watch Barons and Outlaws play games for all the chips. Eventually, only one bigshot is left, and his name is Cabal. And Cabal keeps the patrons of the Saloon as human chattel and rules over them with fear and cruelty.
2008
Cabal thinks the game has been won. Cabal doesn't think he has any opponents left. Cabal isn't concerned with Game Theory. Cabal believes he already holds all the chips. The Cabal is player #1. Cabal doesn't need an opponent. Cabal plans to cull the herd and then dictate what the human chattel will be allowed to do.
2016
Player #2 enters the chat. Donald J Trump walks up to Cabal, punches him in the face, says “lets play a game?”
2017
Cabal realizes that Game Theory never ended. Cabal starts playing the Game.
2018
Trump puts Cabal in a head-lock and steals the King of Spades from his hand.
2019
Trump smears mud in the eyes of Cabal.
2020
Cabal, realizing that Trump has a dominant strategy, thinks that by introducing randomness into the game, it will destroy Trump's plan, because Trump's plan cannot survive unpredictability. So Cabal goes full Crazy Ivan. And you never go full Crazy Ivan. Cabal shits his pants and pukes all over himself, and starts playing creepy banjo music. Now everyone is sick and dancing to the banjo music of Cabal.
2021
Cabal thinks winning the Saloon House was a good move. Cabal has no idea that he just won the most Pyrrhic Victory in the history of the world. Cabal has to take off his shit stained pants, clean up, and apologize for making everyone sick. Now everyone in the saloon is pissed at Cabal because beer costs $20 and peanuts cost $10. Patrons are also upset that the dancing ladies have beards.
2023
Trump introduces his friend Brics. Player #3 sits down at the table. Brics raises.
2024
The lights in the saloon go dark. The Virginia Regiment are clean and swift. Lights come back on.
2025
Trump and Brics are playing a Game. But we notice something. The Opponent known as Cabal, that guy everyone hated because he smelled of shit, has disappeared. And now it's just a game of mutual co-operation between Trump and Brics. They aren't even trying to make discissions to change the equilibrium of the game. And then Trump and Brics tell us that we are no longer chattel, but we are We the People.
Always were, always will be.
I like it. Can I have some of whatever you are smoking, or drinking? Good stuff.
Bravo!
“So Cabal goes full Crazy Ivan. And you never go full Crazy Ivan. Cabal shits his pants and pukes all over himself, and starts playing creepy banjo music. Now everyone is sick and dancing to the banjo music of Cabal.”
😂😂😂
Does Cabal's Crazy Ivan always go to the left in odd numbered years?
Kek!
Wait til we find out Trump was the one who secured all the gold on the people’s behalf to even make the BRICS strategy possible. 100% win.
Your analogy makes me think of Tombstone when Wyatt Earp walks in the Oriental where Johnny Tyler is dealing Faro.
Interesting story but the point of game theory is to develop a well-thought out plan that accounts for nearly anything an adversary can do. If done right it can become a trap/death sentence. The “cabal”, or Id say Comms aware people, are unable to develop an effective counter-strategy. I think the plan has worked because the Comms method has never been challenged by another competent entity before. Also, Comms are all out in the open, its like having an Enigma machine, there are no hidden messages.
