- The prisoners dilemma is a hypothetical game set up showing a situation where people won't want to work together even when it's beneficial to do so. It's just a long way of saying people don't like to be taken advantage of. Is often game theory 101.

ITERATED PRISONER'S DILEMMA AND THE EVOLUTION OF COOPERATION • The Iterated Prisoner'...
EXTRA NOTES
Concerning "Cooperation"
Cooperation refers to cooperation between the two players. Not necessarily with outside parties like the police.
Jessie and James were finally caught after trying to steal Pikachu so many times.
Tofu Kingpin nah, they will blast off the prison roof
finally
yes!!!
Tofu Kingpin what if they blast off again
fucking underrated this is
1)Always commit crimes alone.
2)Always keep your mouth shut.
3)Profit!
HeWhoShamesNarwhals Yeah like someone is going to be stupid enough to take blame for you and go to jail for x years. You would need to be a hot chick and promise neverending sex afterwards for that.
+Dweliq Are you fried
+Adrian Olechowski you can pay someone with the profit to go to jail for you for years wouldnt be the first guy
+Dweliq
Or be a cult leader. Cult leaders can get people to do whatever the fuck they want them to.
+Dweliq Do you know nothing about human psychology? I know enough Men/Women who have spent over 5 years taking someones wrap for things they weren't even involved in.
I did this game in a museum once. It was snitch or silent. I was playing with my dad and I would always snitch because I was a little selfish kid. Dad would always stay silent. I told him "Dad you have to try to get out" he would say "You're my daughter, I would never snitch on you" I now am so touched by that now but back then I said "just pretend I'm not"
Dang
Wow
Oof
Father: “Alright , time to go Candice.”
Daughter: “My name isn’t Candice who’s that?”

The best option is called "Give me my lawyer" which then will get you off because there is no actual proof.

Elmo Humorless lol
Also, that example is bad. Advertising serves many more purposes than just translating to a larger ratio of sales relative to competitors. Brand recognition, image, recognition in general, and persuasion are also reasons to advertise. It's unrealistic to expect many consumers to purchase a product that they do not know exists, or know nothing about.
@@jacobp.2024 which in turn means more people buy your product
Elmo Humorless I’m not joking right when I saw your comment it showed the part in the video where it said that lmao
@@jacobp.2024 All the stuff you mentioned just leads into more sales lol
The survey may have had more people cooperating because they had nothing to lose. They could just pick to cooperate because it’s the nice thing to do and there is no gain nor loss. If you brought money in (like 10$ or 5$) then I think the answers would be different since they have something to lose or gain.
Edit: I just realized something, if you had a HIGHER amount of money such as a $1000 then the results would also change drastically.
they do offer small money as incentive
They have conducted the dilemma in the real world under experimental conditions with monetary incentives. The interesting thing is that the results were influenced by what types of objects were in the room when the person was making their decision. Things we associate with business, brief cases, suits, so on, made people more inclined to defect almost 100% if the time. When filled with neutral objects, rucksack, teddy bears and so on, people were more inclined to cooperate again almost 100% of the time.
there is a TV show where they do this, but I do not remember what it is called.
Yes, just watch the game show Golden Balls
I'd always co-op.

I just thinking about VLR
ah yes I am playing the game right now so this just made me laugh thx XD
lesgoooooo vlr
Lawyers exist
Yeah Sure and if they hire the same lawyer, he/she can go back and forth :3
That's not the point
Yeah Sure, the video is simply describing a hypothetical dilemma, a thought experiment of sorts. The fact that there is more to decisions like this than the situation displays is irrelevant.
Yeah Sure fat american
It's hypothetical.
The game show Golden Balls (UK) uses this in the final part of the show where the two remaining contestants can either choose split the money or steal it, if one steals the other splits stealer gets all but if both steal no one gets anything, however they are allowed to talk so it is more about trusting the other person to do the right thing and not be greedy.
keep it; I'm an asshole
Was just thinking about this when I was watching it. Think I might go with "steal" anyway, not necessarily because I wouldn't split afterwards (just give them a check after the show ends), but because I don't want some greedy person stealing all the money with no intention of giving it to me.
Did you see that woman who stole the £100,00 and the other guy wanted to split. What a bitch.
Pretty much everyone always steals on this show, it's kinda hilarious, I'm not sure I've ever seen both players split...
Used to be a similar game show here in the states called Friend or Foe. Was one of my favorite shows not sure why the stopped making them.

Best option: Shut up and get a lawyer. Spend no time in prison
I know this comment is old, but:
if the evidence for the minor crime (let's say fingerprints on a stolen item) is presented in court, you'll still get an year in prison.
John Doe you could still spend one year for the small crime
Ace attorney.
This was also shown in something called "The Evolution of Trust" by Nicky Case.
Funnily enough these things aren't the best at representing evolution because they don't take into account genetic relations.
There's no extra option called 'pleading the fifth'?
+Garen Crownguard lol
+Garen Crownguard Pleading the fifth (5th Amendment) only means you don't have to provide testimony when it could incriminate you. 'Cooperating' as in not ratting out you partner is the same as just saying nothing to the authorities.
pleading the fifth only involves self-incrimination.
+Garen Crownguard You're better off using your miranda rights, like the right to remain silent. Then lawyer up and do as your lawyer says.
+Garen Crownguard Personally I think many game theory 'games' are flawed in that they omit some important options. Specifically, they almost never include any options which are entirely self-destructive. In one-off games, that's fine, but when you start dealing with repeated games where the agents have memory, it can have an effect. Modelling imperfect information is important too. If you and I are in a standoff with nuclear weapons, and I let off a nuke on my own people, I suffer a loss, but the public will think that you bombed me, so you might suffer an even larger loss.
they put a picture of a baby on cigarette advertising?!
The ad looks really old, it was probably made back when it would be acceptable to put a baby on a cigarette ad
Baruch Vlogs yeah but still
***** ik they thought it was "good" for you
+Mario Velez no
A baby who has had cigarettes administered prenatally, no less... For maximum growth and mump prevention, as 'scientifically proven'. It almost implies the kid should start smoking as soon as possible, like about this toddler, for 'maximum benefits'. From this to 'only GM crops can feed the world population' and yet people still wonder why 'science', as paid for by corporations, has acquired a bad reputation...
Sad the amount of people missing the point and arguing semantics and non-sensical additonal options in the prisoner dilemma, people really need to use their brain and pay attention to what this video is actually about. It has nothing to do with the law or what to actually do in this situation.
Green Shaman I'm pretty sure those comments were jokes.

@Brydon Burrell but negative +negative =positive
In England it's illegal to advertise tobacco products. So the companies end up benefitting from it.
+Jonas Hamill There's a difference. In this example, it assumes that EVERYONE smokes. So the companies are making money no matter what.
In a society where only a fraction of people smoke, the advertisements are worth a lot more.
PopsicleIncorporated No but the cigarette companies are benefiting from it. It's a well known bit of trivia that since the advertising ban on tobacco products, companies are making more money.
+Jonas Hamill Actually no if you compare the 80's society when advertising tobacco was legal in every country, everybody smoked, EVERYBODY, because smoking was a part of the society like the cold war or liking rock music.
Here in chile advertising tobacco is illegal too, they even put images of cancerous lungs or dead people.
But in the 80's it was legal to advertise, and if you look at every single movie, documentary, tv series... etc, oriented in the 80's you'll see everybody smoking.
If the mayority of the population is leaving tobacco back since the tobacco adversiting ban , what's the logic to say that the companies are making more money.
SinNombreYQueWea Tobacco costs more and advertising costs are zero, the huge taxation of cigarettes means the price difference between brands is not so much. When cigarettes are a dollar a pack then adding an extra dollar a pack will result in loss of all your customers. When they cost twenty five dollars the extra dollar a packet going to the bottom libe is not worth considering.
+Jonas Hamill Yea, especially if you use stats like "11/10 doctors administer cigarettes". That's what Red Strikes did in the video!
"they were supposed to be cute" lol that's what my mom said

The prisoner’s dilemma is something I discovered through the game Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward. I loved how that game twisted this already pretty messed up system into something that was horrifying to try and get through.
Came here to find this comment 😂 did you finish the game ? Sigmas fate was crazy.
Two rival nations wanting to reduce their number of nukes to please their citizens. Another example.
I remember DanganRonpa using that example too when describing it.
(but Virtue's Last Reward explained it the best).
also they're expensive. Having 2 times more nukes won't make others fear you twice as much. In times of peace, the bluff is all they're good for
Both can reduce the nukes to please their 80% of both countries' citizens, one can choose not to reduce nukes and please only 65% of their population while the other who pleases 95%, or both can not reduce any nukes can please only 50% of both countries' citizens

If you own a 3DS or Vita and like this video, there's a fantastic game called Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward that's all about the Prisoner's Dilemma. A group of nine people are forced to play a game based on alliances and betrayals. It's an amazing and thought-provoking story.

lightningstrike2001 Nah I'm alright lol, I'll watch it when I'm bored.
the end really spooked me
The answer? Sue the police for corruption!
HandsomeMGTOW how is it corruption
It's corruption since the police is making them agree to a harder crime without having evidence of a harder crime. They only did a lesser crime(misdemeanor) and didn't commit a harder crime(felony). Since the crime was lesser, the police is essentially manipulating them into saying that the other did a harder crime. It's a trap! Lawyer up! Don't let them play these social psychopathic sociopath mind games on you. The sociopathic psychopath globalist elites want to ruin everything!
HandsomeMGTOW thats rareley what plea bargaining is used for
HandsomeMGTOW its getting people to confess to crimes or testify against someone else who did a larger crime in exchange for something like there lesser crime being ignored. Its used to get the small time criminals to help cops catch the bugger ones
Bigger*
So it's kind of like the boat thing from The Dark Knight?
A libertarian yeah... kinda
Yeah but Joker won't arrest them both if neither choose to betray the other.
Somewhat.
Yes, but that was a much more psychological dilemma. Do you want to be alive, a murderer, or dead? Obviously the logical answer is alive, but can you live with yourself if you're a murderer? Then there's the fact that it was the Joker. There was no certainty that any of it was true. The decision was actually up to him, not the "prisoners," until Batman intervened.
A similar type of situation, yes.
The real answer is to become John cena break through the wall and rescue ur friend and run away
Supreme Wolf MT IKR that is insane
Yeah, like why was that not one of the options? What is wrong with this thing becuase that’s the most likely answer...
Finally someone wih a brain..
John Cena Hands
That is correct
This video made understanding the Prisoner’s Dilemma very easy to understand - thank you for your time spent creating and publishing this great content! 😊
It gets especially troubling if both prisoners are innocent. If all the police want is a confession and they'll take a fake one, the odds are stacked heavily against the truth -- the advantage is always to snitch even if you're making it up, and staying honest becomes a frightening risk. I would hope that defendants are not placed in prisoner's dilemmas for that very reason, but I get the impression it does happen. The McCarthy trials hinged on this concept, and I don't think we've fully learned from that.
Wasn't Aaron Swartz also placed in a similar situation like this one?
Misclickable I don't know. I just now tried looking for info on that on the wikipedia page but didn't notice anything. Let me know if you find anything, that could be an interesting read.
Daniel Hale I believe I heard it being mentioned in a video on TH-cam. I believe it was criticizing the prosecution of Aaron Swartz.
Hmm... that would be hard to track down. That's too bad -- let me know if you find an article on it or something. Thanks!
It's a different layer of the narrative used to back the mathematical model, that is not present here, this omission occurred by choice I suppose, in order to keep it simple, but your remark is still valid.

@@janabroflovski2572 disappointing, probably for hs a great wager would be homework. That should be enough motive
@@hackerulroman it was just a fun test to see who will betray or not
I was a test subject in one of those computer-tests, facing off against another anonymous person. Twice actually. I always tried to co-operate. First time the other person came along after a few rounds, but the person in the second trial didn't :/ . I felt like shouting "Betrayal!", although ofcourse nothing was agreed beforehand.
Timo Vehviläinen lol
+This Place Did you know Prisoners Dilemma is the main game mechanic in the game Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward?
Never heard of that game. How do they make that a main game mechanic?
+Timo Vehviläinen in this experiment no one has anything to lose or gain. people might react differently in real life situations. for example in the prison one. another great way to experiment this would be do this competition in collaboration with some online addictive game like clash of clans and then they can gain or lose coins depending on their choices
+Sanil Khurana Well, there's another parameter in RL, that isn't modelled by this test. Suppose blue goes to jail and red goes free. After three years, blue might find red and kill her. Or, in case they were a part of some criminal organization, it might not even take three years for red to meet her demise. In RL betrayal isn't really a rewarded property.
Considering the punishment for BOTH of you talking is 2 years, as opposed to 1 year if both of you stayed silent, it makes the most sense to talk. The 1 year option is there only to trick you as there are better odds if you talk. Your partner might not talk and you get out right away, or you both talk and get out in 2 years. If you chose to stay silent you're running the risk of 3 years in prison thus putting yourself on high risk. If each amount of years was a different tier it would look as follows:
Tier 1 - 0 years
Tier 2 - 1 year
Tier 3 - 2 years
Tier 4 - 3 years
By choosing to talk, you combine tiers 1 and 3 to create a net year length of 2.
If you were to stay silent, you're combining tiers 2 and 4, to create a net year length of 4
Statistically it makes much more sense to talk because it has the lowest possible net amount of years, AND you have a chance to get out in 0 years, as opposed to doubling your net years and playing the odds by running the chance to get out in 3.
well I guess it depends on how much you care about the other person.
The first time I heard of this dilema, the situation is with your best friend
This comment is 2 iq. You've restated something already mentioned in the video.
For me the most important factor is whether I actually committed those worse crimes. If I did, I definitely wouldn't blame my partner. I wouldnt be able to live with myself like that. But I also wouldnt be able to confess so I'd rather just stay silent. Even if my partner betrayed me, I would be serving what I deserved anyways and he would've just done what I was too scared to do. If I didnt commit the crime however, I'd also stay silent because accusing someone of a crime he didnt do isnt any better. I feel like people just think of this in terms of numbers but this is also a test of morality. How would you be able to live with yourself if you accuse someone of a crime falsely? And ruin their lives like that?
But nvm me, I dont think I'd be able to defect in another situation either. Im too nice. The rewards in a prisoner's dilemma situation just dont trump having to lose the other's trust and have them hate me.
The real dilemma in this is that since both of you talking ends in both of you serving two years, it would be better even for the individual to stay silent. What is being demonstrated by the dilemma is that people can end up worse off by picking the options that would make them better off.
The problem with this is any defence attorney worth their salt will get a confession of guilt by a co-conspirator thrown out as hearsay or disregarded by as least 1 juror as an unreliable witness..
Well Zero Escape brought me here, and now I have a deeper understanding.
Okay here is another one. You and a stranger are walking down a sidewalk. You are walking behind the stranger when you see him drop a $100 bill. You can pick it up and keep it or you can pick it up and return it to him. The stranger will never know you picked up his money, it will just be gone the next time he looks for it.
What would you do. Will you be honest and give it back to him, or will you keep it for yourself.
You know nothing about the stranger or why he is careless with money. The money might be all he has to feed himself for a month, or he might have just stolen it from his grandmother.
Would your choice be influenced by the amount of money? Would you choose differently if it was a $5 bill instead?
I would prob give it back anyway. :(
Diana Lucas
I HAVE given it back, more than once. It annoys me a little when they are surprised by my honesty.
Most people like to think they are "normal" meaning most other people are like they are. I think if they are surprised it means they would not have done the same.
I even saw a really drunk guy once, trying to buy a BART ticket. He had several $100 bills but the machine doesn't except that denomination.
I told him to put his money away before he got mugged, then pulled out my wallet to buy the idiot a ticket. My intention was to get him home, maybe call his wife or a friend to drive him, but he leaned over and said, "I'm not drunk, I'm a cop. Thanks, but please go away."
I realized it was a sting and I'd just fucked it up...
HA! LOL!! Soz, but still. Lol. Lucky you. I wonder what the main goal was....but whatev. It's prob private.
If I didn't know whose money it was, I would donate it either to a homeless person or a charity (a dollar goes a long way). Or I'd use it to buy more wool or something so I could use it to make a blanket/quilt for a homeless person, or a beanie for a baby orphan.
Diana Lucas
Well clearly in this example you DO know who the money belongs to. You saw the person drop it.
If you don't know who the money belongs to, and you can't find out, then it's yours to keep as far as I'm concerned.
Exactly. :)
"here is a real world situation" proceeds to basically say that advertising doesn't work. Loved the video keep it up
You guys need to play Virtue's Last Reward. That game has this dilemma ALL over it!
I was just about to put that virtue's last reward is awesome
Ally or betray. Also fuck Dio
sup Hoelds SCREW YOU DIO!!!
Dio da?
I know the cigarette example is supposed to be kept simple but it should be pointed out that the scenario where both companies decide to advertise is flawed. It assumes that both companies will perform equally well at the task. When you decide to compete instead of cooperate you are basing your decision on the hope that your superior skills will allow you to be superior to the competition and that you will reap more reward than if you cooperate.
To me it seems that because we all have different strengths, competition will usually produce the best results where as cooperation will often lead to cartel like situations with stagnation and a worse outcome for the majority.
Pat121V I just did the advertising example because I think cigarette ads are very very funny
Pat121V is comedy gold
This Place I've just been watching a few more of your videos. They are awesome. I love this style of explanations. Tragedy of the commons is my favourite so far. Tobacco advertising is banned where i'm from and they are even introducing plain packaging rules.
Pat121V There is no flaw... he gave the examples and said what each company would make from advertising.. do you know the difference between ''hypothetical'' and ''real life situations''? Your IQ must be 70.
Ana Costellano Woah testy. Chill and i'll explain why you're wrong .
The hypothetical situation is being used to illustrate benefits of real world actions ie cooperation versus competition. It ignores the possibility of one company outperforming the other through competition thereby maximizing its own reward. I believe this is explaining something called game theory. It comes to the conclusion that it is in both companies interest to cooperate. The analysis is correct for the scenario parameters. However, as it makes no mention of the competitors ability, the scenario is flawed in it's relevance to real world actions.
Phi taught me this from Zero Escape.
Good thing Dio isn't here, otherwise he'd be betraying me every chance he gets.
Goddamn it, Dio.

@Fanjanhong * hey, so umm... just wanted to say... that, ahhhhh hatingjojoisajojoreference
I mean if you commit a crime, what you should know about cops is that if they know shit about what you did, they wont be interrogating you.
Be smart, people. Keep your mouth shut and don't ever talk to cops.
Dakota M What is law is not always what is right.
***** Never trust police either. Police wants to put someone in prison, sometimes regardless if person committed the crime. Especially in set ups, all system wants is someone to punish for laws being broken. Basically, never go along with the system and never cooperate.
Stefan Kojadinov : true in fact not many people know defence attys will tell you don't Ever talk to the cops. You don't have to. You have the right to remain silent! Insist on waiting for public defender in you have no money.
***** so just remain silent on all questions?
Ekinlabberer That's the best thing, yeah. They'll call it not cooperating but that's a fucking lie, and they know it. Just ask for a lawyer, then stay completely silent until he shows up. Look to your lawyer every time they ask you a question to see if it's alright to answer.
Police interrogation uses pressure to get you to confess to shit you likely haven't done. Stay calm and remember that you're innocent until the judge rules guilty, regardless of what you have or haven't done.
I really hope your channel gets big. you do an amazing job!
This reminds me of an episode I believe was called prisoners dilemma on a show called white collar. The good guys managed to make the bad guys think that the other was betraying them
This is why you never talk to the police... You wait for a lawyer and neither go to prison.

The cigarette adverts themselves are hilarious! Can't think they're too far from the truth as back in the day smoking was seen as healthy.
Future Proof ha... yeah. That red ad was from a soda ad that had basically the same text, "use soda for early formative benefits" or something like that. The other was a ketchup bottle "that even women could open" and she was so happy because they finally made a bottle for the weaker sex.

That experiment was interesting for the fact so many people cooperated...I'd like to see a meta study done on this experiment by running it on multiple sessions with the only variable being the stakes on which the point system depends on higher stakes and pressure on the person the change in the cooperation and defection rate should be interesting to observe.
This reminds me of women and makeup. I consider beauty to be relative. Makeup just ups the beauty standards. Nothing is gained when all women use makeup, which most of them do. They just waste their time, but they do it to be prettier than those OTHER women. The few who refuse to waste their time with such things are "betrayed" and look worse in comparison to the others.
(And don't get me started with the "natural" look and "no makeup". Yes, men would PREFER it if a woman looked that way without makeup. But it's been proven that makeup can fool men into thinking a woman is more beautiful than she is, especially when he can't notice she's wearing it.)
WTF you're bringing up an unrelated subject. And women who choose to not wear makeup don't feel betrayed in any way lol
If you want men to sleep with you then yes wear makeup, if you want relationship, appearance doesn't really matter.
+Schnappi fckingcrocodile Unless you are very ugly, I don't really think you need make-up to sleep with men.
+Lady Lamb PERFECT, I needed an example of Prisoner's dilemma and I re watched the video for ideas. All I did was scroll down a bit and now you just helped me with my homework! Since I'm a guy, it would be weird if I said women so I'm going to change it to "People who use makeup/People who don't use makeup" for my diagram.
This made an appearance in the book series, “The Mysterious Benedict Society”
If you want real-life examples, the game of split or steal applies the very same principal.
I was watching funny cat videos...now its 1:30 AM and im here. What happened?!
Protip:
The true lesson of this situation is that, no matter what, talking to the police is a bad idea. Be smart. It doesn't matter how innocent you are. Lawyer up.
no it's not
@@Liam_The_Great
It 100% is.
It's not the lesson the Dilemma wants us to take, but it is the lesson you should take from it. Remember. The police do not work to help you, but to prevent and punish crime. There's a deep fundamental difference.
Lawyer up my friend. False convictions happen all the time on the Western world.
also it's kind of BS that accusation from some criminal would somehow be sufficient proof to get you in trouble. Like in this hypothetical situation they could both be innocent and both end up punished wtf?
@@teranyan
Happens all the time, my dude.
That's why you follow the cardinal rule and never talk to the police. Lawyer up.
The Nonary Game: Ambidex edition from Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward uses this (it even explains it in full detail at some point) so that characters can get points to get out of the complex they're in. The scores are like this:
All start with 3 points (if they get 9, they are allowed to leave, but that will leave anyone who doesn't go with them trapped forever) and are either paired with someone else or go alone depending on their bracelets' color and whether it says "pair" or "solo" but the prisoner part comes like this: They are paired with the group they went with to a room (The Puzzle part of Zero Escape) and they have to choose either Ally or Betrayal. The scorings go like this:
Ally/Ally: +2/+2
Ally/Betray: -2/+3
Betray/Betray: 0/0
What's interesting is that people who get to 6 points will coerce others into picking ally to betray them and escape ASAP instead of contributing into picking ally altogether since the beginning.

You should've titled this video "The law is fucked up!".
This is real life thing especially in territory management aspects of sales , where in order to stop wastage of resources over hiring and marketing, companies with almost identical offerings simply demarcate territories to save resources and gain money in their respective areas
Red shouldn't worry too much, the criminal justice system is much more lenient on females. They'll probably pin the whole thing on blue anyway.
Your comment made me lol for some reason :')
Sollution to this
1. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime
2. Snitches gets stiches.
3. ???
4. Profit.
I remember this! There's this place called The Explortorium in SF that has these two rooms where you do this same exact thing.
There's a game called "The Evolution of Trust" and it's very similar to this
But it's not the same because rationally if you both defect, in that game, you bother get nothing. There is no gain
A true rational agent would know that another true rational agent would act exactly the same as them, meaning that they would choose to cooperate.
*welp* Time for me to do some proper research...
+Banana Bread is there any super-super rationality, just asking, real life is a bit different.
+Roman Dudar - i think it means that rational agents think only about their scenario and and super rational agents think about every one else's scenario as well.
That means a super-super-rational agent just wouldn't have committed the crime
Josh O'fortune Don't think about it too much, this is a paradox, there is no "rational" solution.
Even after 10yrs the animation looks crisp and new: EVERGREEN video!
What you do is stay honest, so you can find/preserve honest people. That's more important than whatever advantage/escape you could get. Because if the world runs out of honest people, it's over.
If they are Black, they are both going to jail for 5 years.

+Luka DS It could also suggest other problems, depending on the justness and bias of the justice system.
The best real world case of this game theory for me is in the old British gameshow with Jasper Carrott called Golden Balls. When the one guy tricks his opponent by saying he’s going to steal their money and then he doesn’t and they both get the best possible outcome with shared winnings. Look it up

Been teaching pd for many years. This is still the best video on the topic - so thank you very much!
This would never happen to me, I'm break too many laws that they don't even know which one I actually broke
I always use this in every situation in my life. I call it, self preservation. Every move I make, I ask myself what am I benefiting and at what cost, doesn't matter what it is, even as small as a friend inviting me to a night out, i weigh the consequences against whatever benefit I stand to get. You need to do it a while until it becomes nature to you, until it becomes your default scale of processing anything. It makes me aware of the things I'm trying to achieve, therefore if any outside influence comes, I'm very much aware of weighing whatever that is against the consequences it will have on my own goals.
Say, I have a couple of things I need to do like, buy myself a car, clear a debt, upgrade something, now, to a normal person, these goals or priorities will be buried in deep layers of their consciousness that, when a friend says let's go out or go for a holiday, they will go, and only after the holiday will they realise, shit, I still haven't done such n such, but if you have practiced prisoner's dilemma enough times for it to become part of your decision making, the moment your friend says lets go out or to a holiday, your brain will bring up all the other things you wanted to do for you to weigh them against the consequences of going on that holiday. What self preservation does is, it protects you and your goals all the time, even in a relationship it protects you if you use it enough times so that it gets embedded in your decision making
Golden Balls is a TV show, and in a special round called "Split or Steal" they do something like this. There's a prize on the table and either person can split or steal. If both people split, they each get half of the prize, if both steal, no one gets the prize, and if one steals but not the other, the person who stole gets all the prize. It's more beneficial to steal mainly because you have a chance at getting more money rather than just splitting.
There is a hidden cost. If Red betrays, after going free, the friends of Blue will send her swimming in concrete boots. The same goes for Blue and Red's family. So cooperating always is beneficial and the prisoner's dilemma is solved :)
only when the mafia is involved, it's also likely that if the mafia is involved the betrayer will be put under witness protection
If the mafia were to be involved, its most likely that one of our suspects are in relations with the mafia. leading to that person definately being arrested or ordered to give info on the mafia, that in turn leading to the mafia killing this person.
If this were to happen, then the other person should betray for the best opportunity. The other person would be distracted by trying to figure out if she/he would in turn betray the mafia or not.
"these are creepier than they were in my head" XD
I have seen this variation of the prisoners dilemma, where if they both betray, they will each go to jail for 4 YEARS! which is an extra year compared to staying silent.
How does this change the dilemma?

@@SH19922x cringe
2 of my lecturers explained this but didnt mention prisioner's once, got really confused when the handbook said i needed to know the prisioner's dilemma
But then, why not work together to change the rules so that if you cooperate, you get 0 years or 2 years. And if you don't you get 1 year or 3 years.
