Game Theory #4: The Immigration Trap

The podcast explores immigration through the lens of game theory, questioning who truly wins and loses. It argues that East Asians, despite excelling academically and professionally in America, often face lower social status and challenges in the dating market compared to other groups. This is contrasted with Hispanic, Black, and Muslim immigrants who, while not conforming to societal norms, may achieve greater long-term demographic and cultural influence. The discussion uses PISA scores and dating website statistics to support its claims. The core argument is that playing by the established rules may not lead to success for immigrants, and demographic shifts could result in future conflicts over cultural dominance, referencing historical population replacements.
