“It's very productive scientifically; I often get some very good ideas ...” — Reinhard Selten Quote

It's very productive scientifically; I often get some very good ideas for my research while hiking.

I did several types of work about several investigations of application of game theory to international relations.

When I was born, my father owned a business called a 'reading circle'; folders containing an assortment of magazines were lent to customers for one week, then recollected and lent out again. The older the folder, the lower was the fee. This was a flourishing branch of industry.

I am addicted to research, let's say.

My first contact with game theory was a popular article in 'Fortune Magazine' which I read in my last high school year. I was immediately attracted to the subject matter, and when I studied mathematics, I found the fundamental book by von Neumann and Morgenstern in the library and studied it.

I like company lunches because I think going out wastes valuable time; plus, a lot of good ideas come up over lunch.

One of the biggest obstacles to making lots of money is not a lack of good ideas or opportunities or time, or that we're too slovenly or stupid: it's that we refuse to give ourselves permission to become rich.

There are many good ideas out there that never get an audience.

I've played under many managers - some fantastic, some average, and some not so good. Even if it's not intentional, you log the good ideas and the bad ones.

I might be into writing... I'd like to try it someday. I always come up with some good ideas.
