Iran predictions, Game Theory and How to loose the plot?

I can’t believe this is a TED talk. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita advocates using Game Theory to predict the future of Iran and evidently influencing US Foreign policyHe says that schizophrenics are not rational. Wasn’t Game Theory applied by Nash, a schizophrenic, during the Cold War to the whole sociall spectrum?

Bueno de Mesquita is a consultant to the CIA and the Department of Defense! Is it me, are these people complete, clueless loons? Not very bueno!

I’m more likely to believe most of what Adam Curtis says in The Trap:
