the previous post is pretty much self-explanatory
the prisoner's dilemma poses a scenario where either you trust a stranger or don't
and the stranger may be honest or not
in a one-off meeting, trust MIGHT lead to the best possible outcome for both
but trust COULD lead to the worst possible outcome (for you)
so the safest decision (for you) is to not trust
but that scenario fails to describe real life in any meaningful way
bcs most encounters are with people we've encountered before and will encounter again
in THAT extended scenario, the decision to trust is the one that pays the greatest dividends in the long run, for all participants
even if you "get burned" by the occasional POS
