- throwanem 10y agoThis is one of those cases where the prisoner's dilemma actually is applicable. All it takes is one defector for everybody to be screwed, and the advantage outweighs the penalty, so someone is guaranteed to defect. Anyone who does not remains screwed, so everyone defects soon after. Whoever called economics the dismal science obviously knew nothing of realpolitik. But we must face the world as it is.
