Episode Synopsis

A discussion about elementary ways of thinking about probability (which is always counterintuitive), as a way to start thinking about game theory, and the ways in game theory that we have to consider others considering what we'll do when we consider what they do, etc.  Pascal as founder of science of probability.  Peirce on cutting a deck once for the fate of the universe.  More discussion than anything else.
