Both programming and writing require keeping in mind the state of the entire system, and thus carry inordinately large context-switching costs.

Seek out games where honesty is the dominant strategy.

Be wary of cases...where you know more about what people are doing than why they're doing it.

If the rules of the game force a bad strategy, maybe we shouldn't try to change strategies. Maybe we should try to change the game.

The equilibrium strategy...is by no means necessarily the strategy that leads to the best outcomes for the players.

What we call 'temperature' is really velocity--random motion at the molecular scale.

Sometimes it's best not to get too attached to an initial direction that shows promise, and simply start over from scratch.
