this is “chicken” in the theory, right? whoever swerves first (fends off the meteor) loses (pays the cost), but if nobody swerves, then everybody loses big (suffers the impact).
i agree that the decisions here are more complex than “always immediately fund the antimeteor kickstarter” or “always freeride”. both societies should lose to ones that are better at skills like coalition building, etc.
Ya, I agree this should be true in principal; I think given more time, there might be the opportunity for some sort of “Dath Ilan” lite society to rise to the top.
