[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: We have defined some aspects of Cognitive Economics and some of aspects of its negation, its surrounding void. We talked about information theory communication theory, cybernetic theory, and American life, politics, and cultural changes. Let’s talk some more about it.
Rick Rosner: Alright, so – I dib, my preferred term for all of this stuff is cognitive economics. I don’t know if that’s a useable term because other people have used the term for things that we are not talking about because they use the term for economics and decision-making, but some areas we are going into that are related to cognitive efficiency, which your brain definitely engages in, in some ways that are obvious and other ways that are not obvious.
And cognitive game theory because thought to some extent is a game, where perceptions and decisions have a range of paths – both positive and negative – and the game you’re playing, your brain is playing, is to come to the conclusions that maximize the expected payout, maximize the benefits.
