That’s the first step; the second is to make it more beneficial than alternatives, and preferably by a large margin so that adversaries can’t outbid norm-following way (as is case with peer pressure).
Yeah, but how do we set this up as a stable environment? We can maybe create the initial population, but later, all Johns have to maintain it, otherwise it will fall apart.
We have to make resources scarce enough and difficult to extract, such that John has to collaborate to get them. Then, resources have to be somewhat unpredictable, such that John has to explore and share information. With competition, more collaborative groups will win.
Nice.
How do you get norm-following with limited data? That seems like quite a hard problem.
Just make it in John’s self-interest.
