I learned only a little bit on Game Theory. Game Theory focuses on reactions. For instance, if A does this, what is the best strategy for B? Based on B's possible responses, A may choose a different strategy. In this decision making process, there is indeed an issue of maximizing the overall benefit while sacrificing the temporary or local beneift.
If one makes a decision without waiting for others' responses, it is simply a decision making process, even if with partial information. If a decision is made with complete information, it is a matter of valuation, e.g., whether you want to work as a volunteer or in a bank. In reality, most of the time, people have incomplete information and decision making becomes complicated. In my opinion, there is overlap between game theory and decision making. But I am not an expert on this.
Looks that lawyers are studying game theory too. Actually many books on this start with the criminal's dilemma. So lawyers, business men and mathematicians converge here. :-)

首先:意味深长!
其次:如果是我,我会开车去,因为我觉得既然开头了,冥冥中自有它的道理。
最后:尽管我们知道所有列举的道理,我们还是在重复着错误,因为我们是凡人。

oh, almost forgot the most important thing, commenting on your article: I loved loved loved it! I find it most amazing that you can 1)catch 2) process and 3) sum up into coherent theories ... these random thoughts and its been an inspirational read for me. Thanks

服了, 服了. (Forgive me, no chinese on this computer)
Tell you what, I'm hooked on game theory these days, been reading books (intro ones) on game theory for a while now. Still feel like a beginner. So this next question may be dumb, just bear with me =) : 部分信息下的决策问题 --> isnt that a branch of game theory? Why do you say 这倒也不是game theory的问题? I'm not just asking cuz i'm bored, it's kinda important to me actually
