Game theory of bullying. Which works right up until you realize a lot of bullies have mental health issues and are probably not going to produce identical "rationalized" results to someone who isn't.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoWhat I said doesn’t assume the bully is some kind of rational actor playing a game. They’re more like an organ in the social body.
- akira2501 2y agoA social body relies on signals. If the signals are not predictable then you're facing the exact same problem. You've also opened the door on a single bad signal infecting the social body and pushing towards outcomes that would not occur if that single influence was not otherwise present. If you're going to rely on this dynamic, then you're going to have this consideration.
