Episode 117: Overcentralizing Mechanisms and Messina 1347

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who voted for Decision Space to be nominated for a Golden Geek award. We are honored to be nominated alongside a ton of great podcasts. Good luck to everyone nominated in all categories! This weeks episode is something of an experiment. We are trying out a new deep dive format, where we provide our review and decision space exploration for Messina 1347 and reserve the second half of the episode for a related topical discussion on overcentralizing mechanisms (closely related to overcentralizing strategy and/or dominant strategy). We are trying to make sure that our deep dive episodes offer something to all of our listeners, even if you are unfamiliar and/or uninterested in Messina 1347. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how this went, and all feedback will absolutely be considered for future deep dive episodes! Now that the in-flight, safety information is taken care of, sit back and enjoy your trip on the Interdecisional Spaceship!
