tit-for-tat works in a larger setting as well, in fact it works better because you can ostracize and punish.

you know, like WHAT IS LITERALLY HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK!? do you think greed-flation just happened out of nowhere?

but no, like every libertarian, you propose the destruction of regulation because you promise yourself that somehow people will be better off if they need to waste their lives on crap. “you didn’t put weeks of research into the three bio-med testing labs to ensure they wouldn’t lie about the insulin, I guess you should die now, lol”, and you know how I can tell you’re an American? BECAUSE LITERALLY NO NE ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE. yes, this issue is entirely an American thing because you’re the main drivers of the deregulation and reactionary enforcement that has lead to insulin costing you $500 for a 2-week supply, and your reaction is to make the US into more of a banana republic by destroying the goverment even more.

I didn’t know that! Do you have a source?

These appear to be regarding typical 2 player prisoner’s dilemmas. What I’m curious about is if there’s an academic literature about this for larger groups, where they ostracize and punish.

Because if it works for them, then it can work for us… We could build unions where we signal to each other the same way, without need for central leadership.

Hey sorry to keep bugging you but where did you first hear the “greedflation” concept? If you’ve got a source for either (since it’s pretty much the same thing) I am legit interested.
