Even after 6 months, this is one of our most warmly received videos yet! Since we’re still getting comments about it, we thought we’d post some of the fantastic interview footage that didn’t make the final cut over on our Patreon. Enjoy! https://patreon.com/posts/what-game-theory-107376148

So, and hear me out..... if you liken "cooperate" to "AGREE" then liken "defect" to "DISAGREE". While likening the "prisoners dilemma" to "LIFE"..... That means.... your best move in life is to always agree to disagree! 🤯

I can't see how this works in real life, without actually allowing for the 'personality' of the player/s. Take Putin-Trump-Netanyahu. All adamant, wanting more real estate. Not in their nature to be forgiving, until they run out of bombs. Put in Iran, Ukraine and Canada. None wanting to cede Real Estate. Not in their nature to be Nice to a Country determined to kill every living soul to achieve it's aim. How would anyone convince the protagonists to be 'Nice'? How could you convince the 'Prizes' to be forgiving?

Also in this day in age you have to factor in the corruption! The actual "programmers" running the show! Nothing happens organically. It's all manipulated to serve the "programmers" agenda! Which is not the agenda of the masses...

Turning the other cheek is actually the best strategy in a real world scenario. By refusing to immediately retaliate, you break the echo effect of a blood feud. You accept a temporary sub-optimal payoff (1) to prevent the system from collapsing into mutual destruction.

is it rational to say then if: iran would not attack to israel as the serve conseqounces are granted but in the same time attacking neighbour country could give it a card. it use the old, sanctioned or convicted officer based on international law to reduce the risk of surrender to west. this two means its play as mad man yet there is common sense there and if, why they dont surrender and make country free. asking for a friend.

<<@trevorray6212
says :
These guys are incorrect about Christianity and the Bible and the parable of turning the other cheek. It is a very historically contexted verse. In Matthew 5 it says when you are slapped on your right cheek to offer the other cheek. this is because to be struck on the right cheek would take a backhanded slap which in those times was considered an insult of a move. It is not the hardest way to get hit. A punch delivered by an overhand or straight right would hit the left cheek, not the right. To offer the other cheek is to say 'Don't be a bitch, hit me like a man'. It says to stand your ground and offer a fight. it has nothing to do with cowering away. A Coward would never offer the other cheek. it is very intimidating to be told to try hit again. It also doesn't say to get hit on the other cheek, but to offer it. To stand your ground for what you believe and do not let other people get away with insulting you. A backhanded smack was considered a massive insult. A backhand would not be classed as a defection but a bluff. TO say hit me on the correct side tells the other side you are definitley not a pushover and reveals your strategy that you wont be insulted or you wont back down from what you believe in. IN this case it is a great strategy.

<<@AdwikBairagi-h2m
says :
Im halfway through the video...around 15minutes in...and I have a question. Here all the strategies are constant, they are essentially apprehensive rulebooks which focus on what might happen and what just happened rather than being dynamic enough to 1. Identify opponents strategy 2. Change its own strategy based on results. Like a reinforcement learning strategy...much like ai....and then I suppose after an indefinite amount of rounds be it known or unknown, this model would always come on top.

One update this topic deserves: the founding Kitty Genovese '38 witnesses' story was largely debunked by Manning et al. (2007) using the actual trial transcripts — no witness saw the full attack and several did call for help (pre-911 era). The bystander effect itself survived replication; the anecdote didn't. We made a full video separating the myth from the science if anyone wants it.
