Does game theory make sociology irrelevant?
Since game theory allows us to predict with mathematical accuracy the behaviors and effects of human behaviors, isn't sociology just political masturbation at this point?
Also, what (if anything) has sociology contributed to the planet?

It still has its use. More accurately, sociology makes use of game theory.
Game theory can't into cultural trends

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

It's not stupid, it's logical!

This is assuming that everyone is rational and this theoretical results of that.
Economics in general makes sociology irrelevant.

No anon. It's like a word problem to explain the phenomenon.

That's one of the examples that actually doesn't work at all, because it's stated that the pirates want to throw people overboard and the conclusion doesn't take that into account.
Also, evolutionary game theory is the one we should be looking at.

Your understanding of sociology means that:
>Law in general makes sociology irrelevant.
>Natural sciences in general makes sociology irrelevant.
>Art in general makes sociology irrelevant.
>Politics in general makes sociology irrelevant.
>Religions in general makes sociology irrelevant.
All these systems observes society. Just because there are specific ways of observing society (or society/nature), does not mean there could not be sociology.
Therefore if you understand sociology well, you know that the topic is not "society", but systems of observation society.
Therefore sociology studies economics and economy, law, politics and political science, art, natural sciences and so on.
Then again most of sociologist are too dumb to be able to understand this.
But the rule of sociological systems theory is near.
