I have learned about the prisoner\u2019s dilemma and all of the other dilemmas listed a myriad of times weather it be in econ or political science classes. I think that the biggest thing that always stand out to me is the fact that cooperation and compromise will always make both of the parties involved in the dilemma better off, yet it is never the Nash equilibrium. I think that this has to do in part with the lack of communication, but I think that this says so much about our society as a whole. I think that we have become so self-involved that we do not compromise on anything anymore. For example, politics have become so polarized and one side will not hear the other sides point of view at all, when in reality if both sides were to work together out government would be able to function a lot more effectively. This brings in what Fisher was talking about with negotiations and promises, and how rewards are the best way to set up a negotiation. I think that if the congress people knew the rewards that the entire nation would benefit from cooperation on their part, there is a possibility that there could be less polarization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
