Here is a presentation on the map and territory I'm planning on giving to my game theory class.

It's based on Liron's You Are A Brain post.

Any suggestions for improvements?

How long is your presentation

I don't have a set time. It will depend on how the students react to it, how many questions they ask and if they appear interested or lost.

what do you want to accomplish

I want to use the map/territory analogy to frame irrationality and show the benefits of being rational. At my college "sensitivity" is considered a much more important virtue than "honesty" and part of what I want to do here is fight against this.
