108 Perspectives on Bounded Rationality by: Robert

One of the simplest, yet most fundamental ideas in bounded rationality - indeed in game theory as a whole--is that no rationality at all is required to arrive at a Nash equilibrium; insects and even flowers can and do arrive at Nash equilibria, perhaps more reliably than human beings.
