In catching up on reading David Cowan’s recent posts on behavioral economics and game theory, I noticed that Chris Walsh and Adam Shostack (both of the Emergent Chaos jazz combo) make pertinent points about the two. It got me wondering why the combo and I (appear to) approach security so differently and disagree so much, if we are interested in similar topics.

For now, I think I am going to chalk this up to a bit of "behavioral arbitrage". That is, we each have our opinions and will shift between "rational" game theory and "quasi-rational" behavioral economics when it suits us to make a point. That space in-between must be the juicy stuff.
