Do Any of You Think?

I think there should have been some incentive to cooperate beyond manipulation. Like the cheat payout is 1 vs 2 (3-1).

I definitely played copycat for the majority of it, which is similar to how i'd maneuver irl. I think I got a 38 at the first bit.

What I love about the outcome is that it shows how in many scenarios, a moderate (or, mutable) sensibility is best for the whole in the long term. While an extreme (all cheat, all cooperate) can work on the small scale, it falls apart when performed 10, 20, 30+ times. This can be applied to so many things in society!

Game theory's mantra of take the money and the betray the others only works if it's a short term game you're playing. Of course life, if you're lucky, isn't that short term and made up of many games.

If I played long enough, I would have seen this is possible.

This brings up a question I've had for about 10 years. City Crime > Town Crime, so could city crime be reduced by city planning focused on increased interactions in centralized neighborhoods of 1000 or less? Could Dallas, a city of 1,000,000, reduce crime if it were broken apart and restructured into 1000 self-sufficient pockets of 1000 residents and the immediate commercial and entertainment needs to support them?

[Fe 26]

Cities are already broken up into pockets. They're called neighborhoods.

And doing more of that would just increase crime. People rarely hurt their own. Shitty people always justify their shittiness by creating a "other" out of the people in the other area.

Can art cross cultures or is it bound to the culture which creates it? If so, at what point does it become cultural appropriation?

[Diff-chan]

Cultural appropriation isn't real.

I don't know, I would say that minorities trying to come up with guilt free forms of prejudiced and self inflected segregation so they can both participate in hate while holding onto a culture of victimization, is pretty real.
