"For strategy to be effective a broad understanding of human nature is required. The evolutionary history of the human brain, which shapes the behavior of our species today, is characterized by random mutation and selection. It is also shaped by the tension between cooperation and competition, trust, trustworthiness, and exploitation thereof. In order to understand strategic behavior, one should rely on all information available. This includes not only formal models of self-interest but also the many empirical results from other social and biological sciences, which may not yet have been integrated into a formal framework. "
" Social scientists should make a contribution to how humans view, understand and manage themselves and each other. The ultimate goal is enhanced welfare broadly defined. I aim to create thorough, precise, high-quality work on original topics, with an original approach and a lasting impact to human knowledge. "
