From Dr. Schelling I have learned a lot about game theory and conflict, topics about I wite and teach today. However, from him I have learned other lessons, no less valuable. I learned the humility and particular way geniuses see ordinary events and think. On one occasion, talking about one of his books, Micromotives and Macrobehavior, he told me that one of his motivations for studying human behavior came to him one day when he came to an early auditorium with his wife and sat back, to notice that the people who were arriving were also sitting back. These everyday events that may be irrelevant and imperceptible to any of us, are not to the mind of a genius who, thanks to seeing the everyday in an extraordinary way, like the apple falling from the tree, end up making invaluable contributions for humanity.
