As for your original post, you seem to cleave off anything like morality. Given there is a world with creatures with the capacity to reason, they'll necessarily (if they don't want to get picked off) have to have some kind of cooperation. This is where employing one's rational decision-making through moral decisions comes into play.
I agree. I'd also like to add that the idea of a "rational outcome" is nonsensical."
