Cc: Nowak, Martin; lawrence Krauss Subject: Re: currency question hmmm.. have to think about this.. it is long =ccepted that the god myth satisfies some long standing internal need =umans have for either defense against death or need for purpose.. no =oubt actions governed by satisfying that pleasure center... the key =uestion is where inside and outside intersect and cannot both be =atisfied together.. that is where game theory is relevant I think.. =nbsp;how to compromise on satisfying hopes, and satisfying reality when =rying to outsmart a charging lion..
