I wonder if I over-corrected upon learning about cooperative game theory. Based on the relative lack of responses here, perhaps there aren't that many nuggets of knowledge left to be picked off the street, so to speak.
I'm curious, was anyone else aware of cooperative game theory, before I mentioned it here?
I had vaguely heard of it and the main result you presented, but I didn't find it very interesting - and I still don't, even after your post. (The black hole material was much more interesting.)
In comparison, the first time I read about the Prisoner's Dilemma and the Tragedy of the Commons, my reaction was: 'this is amazing! It provides a new way to look at just about everything - littering on sidewalks, war, traffic & SUVs, cheating on taxes...' For a year or two, I saw everything through that lense.
