The worst part about that is, game theory is an actual field of math. You know, an ACTUAL theory.

I accept it in colloquial discourse. I'm not happy about it, and I will smartass at everyone who isn't asking, but I accept that I'm probably fighting a losing battle. But in science, it's absolutely non-negotiable for words to mean what they mean, and not their own opposite.

I don't think money should be an incentive at all, in the long run.

Not in person, no. But I've had biology profs say that something was "just a theory".

Both egoism and altruism are human nature. We are capable of both (for the most part). Currently, we have a socioeconomic system that rewards and encourages primarily the former. Why not try it the other way and see where that brings us?

I work at a large airport this summer. What is this "fully staffed" you're talking about, and where can I get it?

Normally, I'm all for language changing over time. If some word is used a certain way, so beit. But not here. Not in a case where people can end up saying dumb shit like "Evolution is just a theory." I will physically fight people on that, If need be.

Science shows us why the world is excting and lets us find even more exciting things. That beings said, it's still a funny joke.
