I tried a while ago to learn game theory, but I can't understand heavy mathematics. I like to pretend I'm playing Hari Seldon :), but if I don't even know game theory, how can I expect to predict the actions of society? It seems to me like game theory is a dead end as far as the psychohistory concept is because game theory is based on two or more players (maybe the wrong word, I'm not an expert) with a clear-set objective. But a lot of society is unconscious. I try to imagine society as a set of players that interact with a system of all the other players interacting, and in turn are affected by the system. If that makes sense.
