I find it counterintuitive to have a field on the homepage that looks like a login but isn’t. Does the website have more new users than returning users?
Prisoner’s dilemmas are interesting because cooperation is socially optimal but not sustained by a Nash equilibrium. Cooperation is fragile. It’s a little “doom and gloom.” Are social species destined to be individualistic selfish assholes?
Under certain conditions, a repeated prisoner’s dilemma becomes a stag hunt. Stag hunts are interesting because cooperation is, in fact, sustained by a Nash equilibrium. But it’s not for free: there’s also a suboptimal Nash equilibrium that could be hard to get out of.
But the moral is that there’s incentive to not be an asshole if there’s a high probability of future encounters.
In game theory, a repeated prisoner’s dilemma can become a stag hunt if the probability of future interaction is high enough. Which is essentially what you’re saying.
I think once the clothes are trapped in the bedsheet it’s game over. I’m not sure changing directions would prevent it in the first place, unless it was literally just shaking or something close to it.
