Why did that guy before VN think minimax was false?

What is a sub-game perfect equilibrium? Could stuff about different sub games explain some stuff about the different contexts in phil lang?
Analogy of hill climbing/gradient descent and evolution of equilibria is good.
The chain store paradox is interesting, seems like the complex stuff about the interpretation of counterfactuals might be a good example of how there must be an independent realm of epistemic norms in order to get the right answers there.
- Could link to anti instrumentalism arguments in Topics in Contemporary Epistemology?
- Surprise exam paradoxes = sequential choice paradoxes = non-credible threats in game theory Sequential Decisions and Precommitment
What are information sets? What are weakly vs strongly dominant strategies? How is Newcomb’s paradox interpreted as saying strongly dominated strategies can sometimes maximise payoffs?
How does Byrne Hobart’s work on anti-optionality fit in with the precommitment to remove options in game theory, e.g. throwing steering wheel out the window in chicken?
