taking is fine but the entire point of trade is that it’s the real life situation that matches cooperation a lot more closely than being in prison with some guy. It’s the basis for economics. You don’t just “give” you also get.
Hmm. In the Prisoner’s Dilemma (Axelrod payoff matrix) — Your actions control your opponent’s score more than your own. You can increase your opponent’s score (by 4 or 3) by decreasing your own (by 1 or 2).
Given opponent C, my choice makes only 2 points of difference to my score, but 3 points of difference to the opponent’s score. Given opponent D, my choice makes only 1 point of difference to my score, but 4 points of difference to the opponent’s score.
