"The Pris­oner’s Dilemma, as played by two very dumb lib­er­tar­i­ans who keep end­ing up on defect- defect. There’s a much bet­ter out­come avail­able if they could fig­ure out the co­or­di­na­tion, but co­or­di­na­tion is hard. From a god’s- eye-view, we can agree that cooperate- cooperate is a bet­ter out­come than defect- defect, but nei­ther pris­oner within the sys­tem can make it hap­pen. 2.
