I’m with you. MY LIFE HAS BEEN PROFOUNDLY WORSE since I learned about the prisoner’s dilemma. Specifically, any time some PD variant team-based exercise popped up, I just knew some MF on another team would think they were so clever and bring up the prisoner’s dilemma. Oh, we should defect every time, they’d say. Hey, buddy, we all know about the fucking PD! Just fucking cooperate! If you applied decision theory, you wouldn’t make everyone feel like shit, and you’d cooperate! Totally the same vibe, right?
