TLDR: The good news is cooperation and giving everyone the benefit of the doubt is the dominant long-term strategy.

The bad news a lot of people sadly won’t buy that game. Dominanation is the history of the animal kingdom and benefit of the doubt flys out the window with most different people. For instance, instance in my country shaing and corporation are called Communism which is largely considered 😈. It’s all good science what you are saying, but there are not too many science minded people in the world. At least not enough to have game theory applied to reality.

@Greyjedi Game Theory doesn apply (only rarely) to the animal kingdom...But they didnt make it to the top of the food chain and using it is a tool to stay at the top.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Are you saying people at the top use the game theory to remain at the top?

@Greyjedi No. I am saying they use the Darwinian Law of the Jungle. Its the Feudal system dressed up as Democracy..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman There is unfortunately and undoubtedly some of that in society, but why did you choose to make this comment on my part of the thread?

@Greyjedi Because there is a tension between the selfish, and the unselfish, (community minded) And Game theory is very tightly bound to the unselfish. The needs of the many to overquote Spock.. Where western capitalist is Darwinism at an individual level. But since its about the big picture, it more represents an infestation, where the body is consumed totally and then infection dies last..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Still doesn’t explain.

@Greyjedi As a user of Game theory myself, I see the connection. I cant help you any further I am afraid..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman How do you use it? What kind of community do you live in? What is the demographics of your community? In Australia or Austria you are part of the West.
