  For some entertaining, game theoretic exploration of this topic, I recommend reading Liar Game[1]. [1] http://mangafox.me/manga/liar_game/ http://mangafox.me/manga/liar_game/

  > realistic scenario No. Because humans don't follow game theory. Killing people hasn't come about because of rational application of theories. It comes about from evolution. We, as a race, are aggressive, territorial, greedy, exploiters because that has been, recently, a winning strategy vs the other organisms and environment on this planet. Unfortunately, for us, evolution doesn't care about long term. It's fine with us being wiped out and taking 98.1% of the rest with us. It can always start over with next up and comer organism. Theory, rationalism, good intentions, nothing is going to override millions of years of genetically programmed behavior.

    Transhumanism will override all the genetically programmed behaviour :)
