@ahmadmanga, the trap is real, but “defection is logical” assumes particular incentives—not an inevitable feature of human nature. In repeated interactions, cooperation can be rational when future benefits outweigh the immediate reward for betrayal (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). My take: technology governance should make cooperation verifiable and betrayal costly, rather than depend on everyone being honourable. The goal isn’t to eliminate self-interest; it’s to make self-interest compatible with cooperation.
