Episode description
A class on Prisoner's Dilemma, via game shows based on it. Making it vivid through fixing the stakes (Nazi reprisals instead of time in jail, for example). Five game show versions. Evidential decision theory and how to influence good readers of personality: by changing your beliefs about what you'll do, and therefore your commitments as well. Just as in Pascal's wager.
