ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Game Theory #1: The Dating Game

This semester we are going to analyze a question together which is how do societies behave?

What do we do what we do?

What motivates us?

What drives us?

And there have been different theories as to what drives human behavior.

Okay so let's go over some theories.

The first theory comes to us from religion.

The idea is that we are all driven in a war between good and evil.

There's a good side to us

and there is an evil side to us there's satan and there's god and we are causing a battle in ourselves

okay do we move towards satan or do we move towards god and that's the core of human civilization

so religion is meant to give us the strength to show

us the path towards goodness okay that's one theory another theory is comes to us from biology okay

and the idea is sex we want to pass on our genes forward

because that's the point our existence if we cannot have children we all die

so the point of existence is to have children

and have them pass on their genes to others okay

and for males and females life is different

because as a man you have a penis

and all you have to do is stick your penis into a woman and and you're good, okay, and that's all you have to do.

So you want to stick your penis in as many women as possible, and that's the point of your existence.

But as a woman, your life is different because it's hard to give birth.

It takes nine months to incubate the child in your womb, and then childbirth is the most painful experience anyone will ever experience,

and then the child, it'll take like 16, 18 years to raise a child to maturity.

So it's a huge investment on your part.

So as a female, you have to be very cautious, very careful about who you marry or who you have sex with, okay?

And so life is a struggle between men who want to put their penis into anything

and women who want to be careful about who they marry, okay?

So that's the idea of biology.

Then, of course, you have the idea of race and culture,

that the world is a struggle between these different races and cultures for dominance,

and each race, each culture has their own characteristics, okay?

So maybe the yellow race, they're very clever, but they're very weak.

and then the white race are brave but kind of stupid

and the black people like anyway anyway that's another theory i'm

not saying it's correct i'm just saying it's a theory

that people believe it then you have economics right

and what they believe is that we are driven by money

or self interest we want to make as much money as possible

and that's what drives us okay that's pretty simple and the last big theory is the idea of liberalism

that comes from the Enlightenment and here the theory is

that history is a progress towards enlightenment to rationality to truth

and to justice so the inability of history of human development is towards paradise towards heaven

and maybe you know we go off track now and then

but inevitably we move towards God

and this comes to us from the enlightenment we call this liberalism okay

so these are five theories there are others but these are five theories

that show you the diversity the variety of ideas out there

what I will do the semester is present to you another theory which I call game theory.

And my argument to you is that game theory is the best way to understand how humans behave.

What drives nations?

What drives societies?

What drives humans?

Okay?

So that's my argument to you this semester.

So the entire semester, we will study game theory.

All right, so what is game theory?

All right, game theory is very simple.

The idea is that there are three components to a game, just three aspects to a game.

There are the players, the participants,

okay, then there are the rules or the constraints.

In mathematics, we would call this the boundary conditions, okay?

The limits to the game.

And the third aspect are the incentives.

Basically, how do you win this game?

What do you get from this game?

My argument to you this semester is that if you study all three, okay, if you figure who the players are

if you understand the rules you understand the incentives then you understand how the game works

and then therefore you can predict how the game will turn out okay that's the skill

that i want to teach you this semester

and what i want to show you or what i promise you is that if you learn game theory,

there'll be three major benefits to you as a student.

Again, you don't have to learn game theory.

You don't have to come to class.

But if you spend the effort to learn game theory from me,

then three things will benefit you, okay?

The first benefit is that you become a better person.

the point of education guys it's not to get good grades

or get in university

or get a good job what I believe is the point

of education is to make you into a better person

which means that you are a much more thoughtful person who can better analyze yourself

and the world around you this allows you to make better

better decisions this makes you a much more curious much more moral

and much more imaginative person okay

so one benefit of learning game theory is you become smarter

and therefore you become become a better person okay that's number

one um number two is you'll be able to understand the world

that we live in because this world is kind of stupid okay

so you may have heard that Donald Trump and the American military went into Venezuela for no good reason,

kidnapped a president of Venezuela, which is against international law, and then brought him back to New York City, where he will stand trial.

It's really stupid what happened.

But our class, it's not meant to say this is stupid or this is wrong, because we all know it's stupid

and wrong we're trying to figure out why this happened

and what this will lead to and

so we will be in this class studying

and analyzing current events to understand how the world really works why people behave the way they do

and understand how the game of the world works

and this requires you to actually follow the news okay it's not hard to spend five minutes

100

and just read up on the news but We'll be looking at the war in Ukraine.

101

We'll be looking at a new war between Israel and Iran.

102

We'll be looking at what's happening in South America.

103

We'll be looking at the conflict between China and Japan.

104

We'll be looking at the relationship between the United States and China.

105

Okay?

106

So this is relevant to your lives because you will eventually have to work

107

and live in this really screwed up world that we live in.

108

Okay?

109

and the third benefit is once you understand the game you

110

will have predictive powers you'll be able to understand how the

111

world will develop you'll be able to analyze your own life and understand how you will develop and

112

that gives you control

113

sovereignty over your own destiny okay that's my promise to you if you actually spend the time

114

to listen carefully in class to participate fully to follow the news uh

115

and you spend the entire semester doing

116

so then these three benefits will start to accrue in you

117

okay this is a lifelong struggle to learn game theory i'm

118

a lot older than you are i have a lot more experience than you Okay, but I want to show you how to look at the world through game theory.

119

Another phrase that you learn in school is, I'm going to teach you how to think critically about the world.

120

Or I'll just teach you how to think, okay?

121

Alright, are we clear?

122

Any questions before I move on?

123

Alright, so this is all very abstract. And

124

so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to

125

use an example of a game to show you how game theory works, okay?

126

All right, so let's use a really simple game, okay?

127

Let's imagine there are five boys and five girls, and they want to get married, okay?

128

So these are the players, and what we're going to do is we're going to divide them up into male and female male.

129

Then what we're going to do is we will rank the males and the females.

130

Okay?

131

So we're going to rank 10 players into 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

132

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

133

Okay?

134

And so how do we rank them?

135

Well, we rank them according to their attractiveness using three criteria.

136

The The first is genes,

137

the second is wealth, and the third is status, okay?

138

So genes is very simple.

139

It means that you're good looking, it means you're tall, it means you're healthy, you will live a long time, okay?

140

Genes is pretty simple to understand.

141

Wealth just means that you and your family have a lot of money.

142

Status means that you have a lot of friends, Since you have a high status job you come from a really powerful family, okay?

143

So these are the three criteria that we can use to judge a person's attractiveness.

144

And then what we can do is rank them from five to one.

145

Five means really the best, one means the worst, okay?

146

And we can rank all 10 according to these metrics.

147

So according to biology, what we call evolution biology or evolution psychology,

148

we're always trying to find the best genes to procreate because this ensures that our genes pass on.

149

Okay? so um remember that men have a penis

150

which they can stick into anything woman have to give birth

151

so the strategies are different okay so basically five number five is trying to have sex with all

152

five women right that's his strategy But female number five wants to ensure that she only gets five,

153

okay?

154

So these are different strategies.

155

And according to evolutionary psychology,

156

all five of these females should try to procreate with number five, okay?

157

But we know you can't do this.

158

It's suicidal.

159

Why is it suicidal?

160

Because the human rights couldn't survive, right?

161

It'd be idiotic to do something like this, where all five women are just trying to marry this one guy.

162

It may be him, okay?

163

But these three are eliminated.

164

Because then your society would collapse.

165

You can have that many children.

166

So this can't possibly be true, right?

167

so let's figure out what rationally what should happen okay all right

168

so let's think about this rationally or from an economics perspective all right

169

so again number five he's trying to maximize the game so he's trying to sleep with all All five women, okay?

170

The problem if he does that is, these five know they're all being played.

171

And they recognize that this guy is probably an asshole.

172

So five, the best woman is like, you know what?

173

There's not much difference between four and five, so I'll just go marry this guy, right?

174

So number four is gone.

175

And number four is like, you know what?

176

Five is probably making a good decision, So I'll just go marry number three, right?

177

And then what happens now is that five, by trying to marry all the women,

178

it's stuck with the worst choice, right?

179

So that's not stupid for him.

180

He's stuck with number one.

181

But guess what?

182

If any of these guys try this crap, the same thing happens to him, where four is like, you know what?

183

I can't get five, but I'll try to get four and three together.

184

And then three's like, screw you.

185

I'm going to go and marry two.

186

Four's going to marry three, okay?

187

Then he's stuck with one as well, or he's just alone.

188

So if they try to individually maximize their outcome, they all get screwed in the end.

189

So the only way out of this is that they cooperate, okay?

190

And the best way to cooperate is basically five is like, you know what?

191

But screw this, I'm not gonna go after four or three, I'll just have my five, okay?

192

All right, four is like, yeah, I'll just go marry four.

193

No dating, no games, I'll just go marry four.

194

And three marries three, two marries two, and one marries one, okay?

195

And the world now is perfect.

196

Everyone has a husband and a wife, and they can now just have children, and the world is perfect.

197

And this is actually the best strategy for all the players, right?

198

We call this, the word in game theory we use for this is called the Nash Equilibrium.

199

Okay, Nash Equilibrium just means that you always reach a state in which all the players maximize their outcome, the Nash Equilibrium.

200

And so the world makes sense now.

201

There's a problem with this, though.

202

The problem is, in real life, no one does this, okay?

203

In real life, no one actually follows this rule.

204

Natural equilibrium is just a theory we made up.

205

But in real life, that's just not what happens.

206

What happens in real life is we choose to be suicidal, okay?

207

So let me tell you about a game I play.

208

So last year I was teaching this class and I asked the boys and I asked the girls.

209

Pretend you are now 30 years old, right?

210

Your parents are pestering you to get married.

211

And you've been on the dating market for 10 years.

212

There's really no one that you think is perfect for you.

213

You have basically given up on love.

214

Imagine that you want to get married now.

215

And tell me what is the minimum requirement you need in order to agree to marry someone else.

216

Okay, what's the minimum, okay?

217

And then I have the boys and the girls who are done in response.

218

The boys were pretty simple, right?

219

Well, you know, as long as she likes me and as long as I put my penis into her, I'm good, okay?

220

It's that simple, okay?

221

It really is.

222

Guys are like, yeah, I'll settle for anything.

223

That's the boys, right?

224

Girls were different.

225

Girls who are like, okay, if I don't love him, if I'm not even attracted to him, I need about a million dollars a month.

226

Really?

227

Oh my God.

228

Yeah, I need about a million dollars.

229

Last class.

230

Last semester.

231

Okay, all right.

232

So, this makes no sense, right?

233

So, in theory, in theory, we should follow an actual equilibrium.

234

But in real life, what happens is this.

235

All the girls want this one guy.

236

Okay?

237

And maybe number four.

238

They'll settle for number four.

239

But three, two, one, they don't want.

240

And we know, because just look at the world around you.

241

Look at these billionaires, right, like Elon Musk.

242

How many wives does he have?

243

How many children does he have?

244

Right?

245

All the women in the world, many, not all, but many just want to marry actors, like Brad Pitt.

246

Billionaires like Elon Musk, right?

247

And three, two, and one, what do they do?

248

Well, they watch Netflix, they watch porn, they play video games, they've given up on life, okay?

249

They're like, we don't care.

250

We call these people incels, right?

251

Involuntary celibates because basically, they've given up on life and life has given up on them.

252

So this entire competition is between number five and four for all the women in the world.

253

And this is, again, suicidal.

254

This will lead to the death of humanity.

255

and the question now is okay why are we suicidal and

256

so let's look at game three analysis right the players the rules

257

and incentives we don't we know what the players are the

258

players are doing stupid things the rules we know okay

259

but the incentives is something that we have to think about why they behave like this

260

and the answer is because they're not interested in sex

261

or procreation what they're interested in is status okay that's the game they're playing status

262

i don't want to marry someone to have children i don't marry someone

263

so i can take a picture of her and post it on instagram

264

so i can get a lot of likes i want to marry someone

265

so i can walk with her in the mall

266

and all the guys are jealous i want to marry someone

267

who i can brag about okay it's a game about status not a game about sex

268

or procreation you understand there are not people not being rational

269

here people are trying to maximize their status in life

270

and that's why everyone's behaving like this number look she may be the oldest woman in the world

271

but she's still like you know what it's still my choice we're not to have kids

272

and having kids is a pain in the ass so

273

if I'm gonna make the sacrifice this guy better be good -looking okay

274

or this guy better be rich otherwise why would I have kids okay

275

so this is why people behave the way they do

276

if you think about this way what you recognize is

277

that people are rational

278

but to understand why they're rational you have to figure out what the game is okay

279

but then this leads to us to a question

280

which is okay well clearly this is wrong because

281

if we behave like this throughout human history we wouldn't be here today okay how is it

282

that we have this game today and we're gonna die

283

but we must have come from somewhere we've been around for like a long time

284

so how is it that humans have survived for

285

so long doing these stupid things and the answer is

286

because the game changes over time according to

287

the superstructure of society okay the superstructure the superstructure

288

is what determines the nature of the game superstructure just think

289

about the big picture right how many people are there is a study wealthy

290

or poor are there enemies to this society okay this is

291

the superstructure the big picture demographics economics culture politics religion

292

and these things together is what determines the nature of the game all right

293

so let's look at three examples of superstructure all right um

294

example one is you have a low population society okay low

295

population is like maybe 200 people 200 people okay a village basically they are poor

296

and um low technology low technologies means they don't have access

297

to clean water they don't know what hygiene is they don't understand what germs are

298

so it's very easy for a woman to die in childbirth okay and low competition

299

low competition just means that there are no competing villages against them okay so that's one kind of superstructure

300

the early superstructure of human society okay then you have maybe growing population okay

301

so maybe we're talking like maybe 10 000 people 20 000

302

people they are now growing in wealth growing wealth um they

303

have some technology meaning they have access to clean water

304

and they have high competition okay meaning that they're competing against different villages

305

and societies around them okay that's another superstructure now the third superstructure is overpopulation

306

okay

307

which is the world we live in today okay where in

308

china you have a billion people that's a lot of people um too much wealth okay

309

but with wealth you have inequality right

310

and then you have high technology this high technology just means that every woman who who gives birth will not die.

311

And every child born will live, okay?

312

And then you have something called equilibrium.

313

Equilibrium just means that, yeah, there's competition, but they're not gonna go to war against each other.

314

The world is basically peaceful, okay?

315

And according to superstructure, the game is going to change.

316

So let's go back to the game, okay?

317

We have 10 people.

318

In a low population, poor society, guess what, they're not going to date.

319

What they're going to do is, they might get married, but they're going to have sex with each other.

320

Why?

321

Because as a woman, the only way to ensure that your child survives is

322

if all the men in the village want to protect and nurture the child.

323

And they will do that if they believe that the child could be theirs, okay?

324

So the woman will maybe have a husband, but the woman will also choose to sleep with other men to disguise paternity.

325

Doesn't make sense.

326

So there's no dating, there's just lots and lots of sex in order to maintain social cohesion, okay?

327

Now, in a superstructure number two, there's no dating either.

328

Why?

329

Because this society is in competition with other societies and they need to have as many children as possible.

330

So what the solution here is to arrange marriages.

331

Arrange marriages.

332

Where, you know, who cares who you marry just have lots and lots of kids, okay?

333

There's no dating either.

334

Just have lots and lots of kids.

335

You marry who your parents tell you to marry.

336

You marry someone that you know.

337

You marry your childhood best friend.

338

Who cares, okay?

339

But you marry someone, you have lots and lots of kids.

340

That's superstructure number two.

341

Superstructure number three is the one we live in.

342

And here, you have a dating game.

343

Right? Because why?

344

Because the odds of you obtaining status is really, really low, okay?

345

And the only way that you can change your status is by marrying up.

346

And that's why you have a dating game.

347

A dating game is an opportunity for you to find someone better than your social demographic circumstance can suggest.

348

And that's why you have low decreasing fertility rate,

349

where over time, because of the dating game, society will collapse. Does that make sense?

350

Alright, so now you're the government and all in the world,

351

women who are wealthy, well educated, are refusing to have children, especially in East Asia.

352

Right now the fertility rate in China is It's about one, okay, about one.

353

The replacement rate that you need is a 2 .1.

354

So just to maintain your current population levels, every woman in China needs to give birth to at least two kids.

355

But right now, on average, women are usually going to have one kid only in China.

356

And the worst thing is that this trend is increasing.

357

So five years ago, the fertility rate was maybe 1 .7.

358

Now it's one.

359

Okay, so the trend is very, very negative.

360

Okay, so governments all in the world are trying to figure out what to do.

361

How do you convince women to have more kids?

362

And what we've discovered is, it's impossible.

363

We can pay you more money, like they do in South Korea, guess what, it doesn't work.

364

Because people don't want money, they want status.

365

And status is a zero -sum game, okay?

366

Money is infinite, but status, power, is a zero -sum game.

367

So we have overpopulation, we have too many people competing for too few status positions, you have decreasing fertility

368

and there's nothing you can do about it the moment you

369

give woman choice they choose to improve their lives by marrying someone better okay not all

370

but most and so over time what happens is your society collapses

371

if you look at history the best indicator

372

that a society is about the collapse is

373

if the woman who are wealthy and educated

374

if they refuse have children it's the same this is what

375

happened to the Romans who collapse this is what happened to

376

many empires this is what's happening around the world today in America in Britain in Europe in China okay

377

and this tells us that society is collapsing

378

so in other words what this really is okay the superstructures it it tells us the life cycle of a civilization, right?

379

So this is when civilization is young, then it mature, it grows, and then it collapses.

380

Okay?

381

And if you look at history, all civilizations go through this process of birth, maturation, and then collapse.

382

And there's no way around it.

383

So the power of game theory is that just by studying one aspect, okay, if I just study this game, all right, I figure out who the players are,

384

the rules, and the incentives, I figure out what the superstructure of the civilization is, okay?

385

And then once I have these two, I can now figure out where it came from

386

and where it's going okay that's what I want to teach you in this class how to analyze a situation

387

so you understand the players the rules and incentives

388

which will give you insight into a superstructure

389

so you can figure out where it came from and then you can also predict where it's going all right so So,

390

but you can also look at the superstructure and figure out what the game is being played.

391

So this is one example, but throughout the semester we'll be doing many, many different examples of game theory.

392

Is this clear so far? Are there any questions?

393

Any comments?

394

Any questions before I move on?

395

All right, so let's just look at some basic facts, okay?

396

All right, this is a map of the world, okay?

397

As you can see, okay, oh, sorry.

398

All right, so the coverage scheme is this.

399

The red is where the population, the society has an above replacement fertility rate, so above 2 .1.

400

If it's dark red, like here in the middle of Africa, it's 6 to 7, or 6 above, okay?

401

And why is that the case?

402

Because Africa is in a situation where it's a growing society with middling tech, so a lot of people die, lots of competition.

403

So to survive, families have to give birth to a lot of kids, okay?

404

They have no choice in the matter.

405

But then you move to the rest of the world, okay?

406

So this is North America, Europe, and East Asia, the three wealthiest parts of the world.

407

And guess what?

408

The fertility rate is collapsing because now we've entered the end game where it is overpopulation, too much wealth, so too much inequality.

409

And so women are forced to pick the best possible mate or not have children at all.

410

All right, and here the situation is very, very dire.

411

North America and Europe are kind of okay.

412

Why?

413

Because of immigration.

414

Because even though their women are not having children, they can choose to import people for their labor force.

415

But East Asia is .

416

Really, really screwed, guys, okay?

417

So just look at this region.

418

Okay, so China is one, but the worst is North Korea, oh sorry, South Korea.

419

South Korea has the lowest population rate in, sorry, the lowest fertility rate in the world.

420

They're at between 0 .6 to 0 .8.

421

So they're probably gone in 50 years' time.

422

It's so bad that when you go to South Korea, They have signs outside restaurants that says no dogs and no kids.

423

They think that kids are a problem.

424

So you look at these areas, again, they are poorer, so women are forced to have more children in order to survive.

425

But you look at wealthy areas, well, they're probably gone in 100 years' time.

426

It's total collapse.

427

The solution that governments are choosing right now is to import immigrants, okay?

428

So these are the trends right now.

429

And it's causing a lot of disruption in society because, guess what guys, people don't like outsiders.

430

People don't like immigrants.

431

But they don't have a choice in the matter because along with the fertility crisis,

432

it's the aging crisis where your population is getting older and older, okay?

433

So life, the world, is not that simple.

434

If you want to know who will rule the world in 100 years' time, just figure out which society, in which society, do wealthy,

435

well -educated women choose to have children.

436

And then that's deciding to rule the world.

437

Okay, it's that simple, right?

438

Well, unfortunately, if you do it that way, you get a really, really disturbing answer.

439

Okay, so this is per capita GDP, okay?

440

So how much do people make?

441

All right, so obviously, if you're zero, you're very poor, and if you move to over here, you're very wealthy.

442

Okay, so the United States is the welfare side in the world, right?

443

Sure, we can understand that.

444

Then this is the fertility rate, which tells us how many children women have on average.

445

Okay, so again, 2 .1 is replacement rate, okay?

446

2 .1 is replacement rate.

447

So the United States is actually below replacement rate, but the United States doesn't really care because they can import immigrants, okay?

448

Okay, China is probably around here somewhere, okay?

449

Angola is up here, but it's poor.

450

So what this map tells us is a country that is most likely to be dominant for the next 50 years

451

is this country, Israel, okay?

452

It is the only wealthy,

453

western, high -tech society in which women choose to have more than two kids.

454

This is what gaming theory teaches us.

455

And yeah, I know there are people who are like, yeah, but Israel, it has 9 million people.

456

And it's in the middle of a desert.

457

And everyone hates Israel.

458

I understand.

459

Thank you very much, okay?

460

I understand that.

461

But if you just analyze how the game works, okay, if you just look at it objectively from a game theory perspective,

462

you are forced to conclude that Israel right now has the major advantage over everyone else.

463

Now, it is possible that studies will change the fertility rate as the world changes, okay?

464

But I'm saying that given the current state of things, Israel, their growth trajectory is very, very high.

465

But then the question then is, okay, why is it that Israel,

466

they are different from everyone else?

467

And the answer is because the world hates them okay

468

because they think they are different from everyone else

469

and they must unite together to survive so in Israel fertility is status okay

470

if you are a woman and you give birth to a lot of kids

471

that means that you love Israel That means that you are doing what you can in this war for survival.

472

It means you're a patriot,

473

okay, but this has to be with religion So what the West has done is not only

474

Has it created a dating game where women can choose to have kids

475

But the Western world has also given up on religion and embraced materialism, right?

476

Okay, so what is valued in our world,

477

in the West, it's not patriotism or love of family or religious duty,

478

it's just how many Instagram followers you have, it's how many YouTube subscribers you have, it's how many, how much money you have okay that's all that matters

479

so given the current state of events it's very hard for the Western world

480

and really for China to survive next for next 50 years okay I

481

and I don't like well China's a billion people

482

so even though um you know we're only giving birth to 10 million kids a year

483

which will still around for a long long time okay

484

so at this rate by 2100 china will be at will

485

be at a population about 600 million that's still a lot of people man okay

486

here's the problem though okay this is south korea okay south korea is like the worst case scenario

487

and for south korea this is actually the best case scenario where okay given current trends

488

and let's let's pretend that nothing bad happens to South Korea.

489

Well, by the year 2100, you'll have a situation like this where the vast majority of people are over 65 and you have no kids, okay?

490

That is a zombie society where no one works and everyone just, I don't know, walks around the park every day.

491

No one works, so the economy has collapsed, okay?

492

So look at this trend where we are now in here, okay, where the majority, it's still a working population

493

which is good you need that for the economy

494

but by the time you hit 2040 okay you've got this huge dependency

495

and a creating population okay you guys see this where we are

496

and um so we're at 2020 right okay all right

497

so it's still not too bad

498

but by the time you hit 2040 look at this okay

499

look at this look at this where you have absolutely no kids and then you have lots and lots of retirees, okay?

500

And then, by then you hit 2060, oh my god, right?

501

Your population, your working population has decreased by half, by 50%, all right?

502

So, if things stay the same, if nothing happens, South Korea will be dead in,

503

I don't know, by 2150, okay, best case scenario.

504

But what we know from history is that society should not die naturally.

505

Eventually, South Korea will be forced into wars, economic crises, so this trend will just increase.

506

And so, if North Korea got past 2080, I'd be very surprised, okay?

507

I would be surprised by 2040, South Korea were to face collapse as a nation state,

508

because you need these people to work, but guess what, you also need them to fight wars.

509

So if North Korea ever threatened South Korea, most of your adult population would be dead.

510

So South Korea cannot fight a war now.

511

The prospects for South Korea is utterly hopeless.

512

There's nothing South Korea can do about this

513

because South Korea is an extremely materialistic society where the only

514

way to get ahead is by making a lot of money, okay?

515

And if you're a middle class person in South Korea, it makes no sense for you to have three kids.

516

It makes sense for you to have one kid

517

and put all your resources into this one kid in in the hopes that he passes the college examination, gets into a good university, and then gets a good job at Samsung,

518

which is the only company in South Korea, okay?

519

Samsung.

520

All right, so the situation is pretty dire in South Korea.

521

All right, okay, that's it for today.

522

Any questions, guys, about what we've learned?

523

Okay.

524

yeah speaking on mic please so so for the last graph that we talked about israel and

525

I've noticed that Saudi Arabia is also at not bad GDP per capita and fertility risk.

526

But for Saudi Arabia, maybe I'm wrong, stereotypically that they didn't receive much hate as Israel did.

527

So why did they at the similar position as Israel?

528

That's actually a really good question okay all right

529

so saudi arabia as you can see from this map has it's a very wealthy society

530

um and families have about four kids on average all right

531

so saudi arabia is actually an outlier and the reason why is

532

that it gets all the money from oil oil revenues okay so it sells with oil around the world.

533

What does it do?

534

It creates a welfare state using this oil.

535

So you're incentivized to have as many children as possible because the government will pay for it.

536

Free schooling, free health care, free housing, and then a guaranteed job.

537

So it's basically like socialism.

538

It's also a Muslim country, so you have this religious duty imperative to have as many children as possible.

539

But the problem with Saudi Arabia is the idea human capital where it is not really a modern society in

540

which people are well educated

541

and they're contributing to the economy okay Saudi Arabia just gets all its money from oil

542

and that's it it's trying to grow terrorism it's trying to develop its human capital

543

but it doesn't really work okay so if you're right in

544

that Saudi Arabia it is it seems to be doing well

545

but it's not really okay

546

but also like people will argue about Israel as well we're

547

like well Israel get all its money from the United States

548

and it's the American military that supports Israel that's true to certain extent

549

but I would argue that if I could go to Israel you will see

550

that as an open dynamic society in which you're allowed to ask questions

551

which you're allowed to criticize the government in

552

which you are given a lots of options for social mobility okay

553

so Israel has democracy it has

554

innovation okay it has technology okay and Saudi Arabia doesn't have these things

555

if you want to be a really strong nation then you

556

need innovation you need openness unique unique knowledge okay it's also really highly educated all right okay does

557

that make sense okay so Saudi Arabia it's really an outlier here all right

558

but the problem is what happens

559

if a seller runs out of oil right well there's a war in the Middle East

560

and Saudi Arabia is kind of screwed all right all right

561

but you can also argue no well you know Saudi Arabia it has a lot of money

562

and maybe okay so so game Game theory doesn't give us the answers.

563

Game theory, it just gives us a guide to ask questions and do research.

564

Okay?

565

Does that make sense?

566

Yeah?

567

I have a question about, like, when is this data?

568

It's wrote about 2009, right?

569

So how about now?

570

Did it change a lot?

571

Or like, is there anything change?

572

um okay okay yeah so you asked you asked about the sourcing of the data okay

573

and you're right in that there would be fluctuation okay

574

but the um but this is 2024 okay 2024 and this is Israel right here,

575

okay?

576

All right, so if it's red, it's above replacement.

577

All right, and if you just Google Israel population fertility rate,

578

Israel is the only wealthy nation in the world that has an above replacement fertility rate, okay?

579

All right.

580

Okay?

581

Any more questions, guys?

582

Alright, great.

583

So I will see you guys next class.
