What I should do is avoid interacting with closed minded people except when necessary. I do agree that I shouldn't be taking shots at him though. I get a little triggered by blinders though and have a strong urge to pull them off. I need to get better at resisting that urge. Either way, if it gets even one observer curious enough about any of the topics brought up to research more, it was worth while.
I felt a strong urge to make one more reply, but didn't want to continue the debate after I said I would stop. Game theory isn't just a buzz word, but an extremely powerful toolset that can be applied to most any complex system, especially those involving intelligence and power hierarchies. It's not complicated and can be reasonably understood in a very short time. Sorry for squeezing this point into my response to you, but I very much wanted to get that idea out there and squash any perception that it's just a buzz word.
