This old post is going around today, and while it's clearly right that the contemporary Trumpist right has the zero-sum character being described here, it's a remarkable turnaround after all the decades in which the zero/ non-zerosum divide was widely taken to be socialist left vs market liberal.

A couple of people mentioned that the 'Capitalism ~ a Zero-Sum Game?' episode was a bit dense and difficult to take in, so I've relaxed the edit a little and added some clarifications. #Capitalism #Mercantilism #Socialism #Economics #Economy #Society #WallStreet #ZeroSum #NonZeroSum

Game sums:

Scrabble > 0
Chess 0
Monopoly < 0

#Game #Theory #ZeroSum #Games #collaboration #Value #Reward [maybe chess is also, often, non-zero-sum]

Capisco.

Credo rifletta il binarismo che un po’ ci è naturale e molto quello che cercano di imporci

É il famoso principio ZeroSum che infilano ovunque perché:
1- la polemica fa engament
2- la gente proietta e deflette frustrazione
3- molti stan sui social ma non hanno ancora capito

To add, most of competition is already cooperation. The competition in practice that usually wins the most are non-zerosum, win-win, already. We, these discussions, just all want it more "fair." But "fairness" doesn't mean more cooperation & less competition.

Yes, that's always been the hurdle. We have the tech to decarbonize and mitigate, non-zerosum. Renewables being deployed at record levels, even as the US regime slogs backwards and genAI erases progress. Denialism remains the enemy, evolved past "not happening" to "too late/who cares/build walls."

as opposed to non-zerosum games, that is. It's one of the things I like so much about the Robinson & Goforth topological model, as a discrete continuum from zero coop to full coop.

Substantially different. Much shorter game, mirrored decks of ‘ability’ cards, it models a non zerosum formulation of negotiations - so if you win ‘too hard’ you lose (the other player leaves the conference and if you caused that to happen it’s your fault/you lose and world opinion condemns you).

Without discounting the value of learning from our own mistakes, nor from others' mistakes, we learn a great deal more from others' success!
