Imagine in the shoes of two of our ancestors who meet and begin to discuss whether to go on a hunt for gazelles.
Chiamiamoci "you" and "I".
The outcome of the hunt will depend fundamentally on how each of us will agree to do their part. I can choose to cooperate, helping to catch the gazelles and by pooling their prey, or to cheat, letting you do all the hard work and then coming to steal the animals killed. Of course, you also have in front of the same alternative.
If we stay together, we get the better result - two gazelles to the head. But if you cheat and I do not, you come home with three gazelles, and I will stay empty-handed - or not, whether I'll choose to behave unfairly. Finally, if both choose to cheat and we'll go each their own, at the end of the day we only caught an animal head.
now identify with one of two hunters. What do you do?
