	That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

Pretty vague because it is pure theory, but what I gathered from it was, in the first slide they explain that they want to make every problem linear, because that can be solved. And if needed, use heuristics (experienced-based shortcuts) to make it linear. On the second slide about PPAD, it's just a vague explanation where they try to quantify the complexity of certain problems. (complexity as in, how hard it is to solve, how much time/how many computations it will take) All in all not that relevant to what follows in lecture 2.
