I look forward to reading the paper, and to following development
of these ideas in the future.
The source says:
"Uncoordinated individuals in human society pursuing their
personally optimal strategies do not always achieve the social
optimum, the most beneficial state to the society as a whole.
Instead, strategies form Nash equilibria which are often socially
suboptimal. Society, therefore, has to pay a price of anarchy for
the lack of coordination among its members."
Or in other words, selfish drivers do not serve the common good and
give anarchists a bad name. Well, we knew that already didn't we.
No Doug, people behave like that whether they are drivers or not.
Anarchists are by nature selfish.
As usual you fail to demonstrate any understanding of anarchy.
As usual, you fail to deal with the primary point.
