Recent Thoughts

Recent Thoughts: People create their social images based on their experiences. Although this process is what distinguishes humans from animals, it is also the source of a variety of prejudices. I want to decipher this problem on a logical level using the structure of inductive game theory, and on a realistic/applied level through research into social disabilities. Combining these two approaches, I hope to establish a new academic field.
