Tonight my advisor and NYU professor of international relations Bruce Bueno De Mesquita will be on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central (11PM). The promo reads, “The author and game theorist sits down with Jon to talk about the logic of acting on self-interest.”
I am not really sure what to expect, but it would probably make my day if Bruce started drawing up a game tree for Jon.
Update: Here’s the vid!

“The logic of acting on self-interest”…the problem with logic is that it can be used to justify anything. Pol Pot used logic.
Despite all the arguments for selfishness I have yet to hear one that addresses the good that comes from truly selfless actions.
Jon should stomp a comedic mudhole in his ass. It would be in HIS self-interest–and not that hard either. Hmmm.
“Bruce Bueno De Mesquita? Is that a person or a new appetizer at Chili’s?”
