Several of you have, in your comments, expressed an interest in what I have written on the misuse of collective choice theory and rational choice theory and game theory by deterrence theorists, political scientists, and political philosophers. This is a complex subject -- not for the faint of heart. It requires mastering some serious mathematics and all. If there is serious interest out there from people who would be willing to stay with me through what is essentially an entire course on the subject, complete with the technical materials, I would consider starting a totally separate blog on which I would post that material in daily or maybe five times weekly episodes. I would like to know whether anyone is interested enough to stick with it through the whole development. Would you post a comment if you are really interested?
Thanks.
