I think in real life, cheaters win.
Without proper punishment, groups who "play fair" are at a strict disadvantage against those willing to break the rules.
At least in the US, we seem to be rapidly moving away from punishing groups for breaking the rules. All the mega successful companies (and people) seem to break a lot of rules to get there.
Conversely, the honest "play by the rules" groups can't be mega successful. Without punishment, the cheater always wins.

- epolanski 6mo agoWhen politicians and pundits talk about deregulation the viewer is thinking about less hassle to set up a company or do inter state trade. What really happens instead are ecological, ethical and financial stresses of all kind.
- altairprime 6mo agoThe U.S. has always idolized charismatic grifters. Tech revolutionized charisma, by showing that interpersonal charisma isn’t the correct filter: asociability, or perhaps the more familiar amorality, is. The ability of someone to extract and upstream value without engaging in ethics is correctly labeled as more important than being warm and friendly.
