In a recent article titled ‘Challenges for Resolving Complex Conflicts’, I pointed out how existing conflict theory pays little attention to the extinction-causing conflict being generated by humans through over-consumption.

Nash's equilibrium, perhaps best illustrated in the bar scene in A Beautiful Mind, provides a fascinating frame to look at human behavior and shows how, in non-cooperative situations involving two or more players, individuals end up making decisions that are terrible for the group. Most dating apps operate this way. But what if we had an app that avoids Nash's equilibrium problem?
