Game theory also proves the gaping holes in Objectivist theory,

Amen. I have repeatedly tried to get self-styled objectivists to explain why Randians wouldn't create tragedies of the commons. The "best" answer I have seen is "There should be no commons," i.e. someone should own everything and let Coasian bargaining determine the best use. How that's supposed to work for the air we breathe is never made any clearer than the air Randian industrialists would create.

There's a plus-sum game to be played, and Randians cannot see it. Maybe it's because they're not really very bright, and she provides stilts for their nonsense.
