in my behavioral econ classes, game theory was presented as a universal model for understanding human behavior in social/political contexts now i’m wondering if it’s more like a historical description of how a specific type of strategic mind worked in the mid 20th century

maybe this is too far out there, but i recently read your essay 'Boundaries of Your Body' and have been thinking about whether a game theoretic model could incorporate more 'porous' or communitarian ideas of selfhood

I've collected some links to various models of self & identity here, which could provide a useful starting point!http://pricklesandgoo.com/resources/productivity-and-flow/self-and-identity/ …

the basic issue is something like, how do we draw the boundaries between game-theoretic agents? in the most traditional setups, if you draw them between individual people there's a sense in which you're disallowing communication, mutual care, etc.
-
it's a bias towards individualism that causes the boundaries to be drawn at the level of individual people rather than at the bigger level of, say, organizations (e.g. companies) or at the smaller level of, say, different psychological aspects of a single person (e.g. IFS parts)
