That's not the point of my OP. Here's the central idea behind TPD:
Let's say that you don't trust me, because you think that I am an asshole who is out to screw you. And, so, you and I both behave in ways whereby we end up having less as compared to a scenario in which we had cooperated, and in doing so, we would have both ended-up having more.
The Donald "wants to make American great again" (by the way, when was it, Mr. Tump?), but the only way to "make America great" is to screw the other Nations of the World. But, in screwing (or, at least trying to) other Nations, they can and will screw us back, which means, in the end, everyone loses, which means that American will be more worse off than it was before. And, so, in the end, Trump "trying to make America great" will only make it into a hellhole, along with the other nations of the World.
Quote:The prisoner's dilemma is a standard example of a game analyzed in game theory that shows why two completely "rational" individuals might not cooperate, even if it appears that it is in their best interests to do so. It was originally framed by Merrill Flood and Melvin Dresher working at RAND in 1950.
