    It’s interesting maths, and on a personal note helped me be more aware of the incentives of the artificial systems that surrounds us.

    But no, you shouldn’t look at the prisoner’s dilemma and think that eveyone would act like that in the same situation. Real people, specially when talking about individuals, rarely are completely “rational” (whatever that means) and many factors that matter a lot to individuals are completely discarded.
