Hello everyone,
I really enjoyed opening up Game Theory and Gamification with you this week. Next week, we’ll consider the ways that Game Theory is set to effect war, peace, decentralized finance, and socialization in the future.
I know this week was a lot of information, so I’ll summarize below so you can have it all in one place. Remember, each letter has an attached audio version in case you want to listen to them back to back on the go.
Make sure to share with anyone you think would find interesting and would want to join us next week!
Until Monday, have a great weekend my friends,
Matt

Someone created a world using the principles of gamification, leveraged behavioral momentum, and activated one of the player types in you to guide your behavior and maintain your attention.
Thursday
The atomization model demands that content creators exploit the base instinct—anger, rage, sadness, confusion, fear—of people online in order to drive traffic, which then translates to pennies for the creators per visit.2
