6.10: The Dilemma of Utopian Joy: Ariel & Christina Discuss

While solarpunks often choose to stand in direct opposition to selfishness, greed, and systemic problems, the choice to be kind and to prioritize joy, sympathy, and understanding is also central to solarpunk in fiction and in real life. As Christina and Ariel discuss, while acts of kindness occur in all sorts of fictions, even cyberpunk and dystopian fictions, acts of kindness in solarpunk stories tend to be transformative, especially for the person or group on the receiving end. They then explore the sacrifices that it takes (and who has to make them) in order to maintain peace, prosperity, and joy in society by two famous solarpunk–adjacent stories set in utopias, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K. LeGuin and “The Ones Who Stay and Fight” by N.K. Jemisin. Christina is not sure if she’s on board for either of these stories, but she agrees with the premise that now is the time not to walk away in disillusionment, but to fight hard for human rights, justice, and fairness in all of our different political systems and societies.

I'm probably stupid for not having thought of this earlier, but I just realised that boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest this year is very likely going to ensure that Israel wins.

The number of Zionists in each participating country is a clear minority within each country, but globally they amount to a large enough group that they may outnumber everyone else.

The Zionists have the advantage of only having one country to vote for, while anti-Zionists will have to distribute their votes across 36 different contestants.

Also, the Zionists are rallying behind Israel to vote while many anti-Zionists are boycotting and thus not voting at all. I've read several comments saying something along the lines of “I don't normally follow ESC, but this year I'll vote for Israel”.

If I vote, I'm not boycotting. If I boycott, I can't vote, risking an Israel win. I find this to be a huge dilemma.

What will you do?

What is #cooperation? What is a cooperative #dilemma? Which #games constitute cooperative dilemmas? How can we easily analyze evolutionary cooperative dilemmas? We answer these and other related questions for the simple but relevant case of two-strategy (e.g., "cooperate" and "defect") n-player symmetric games (e.g., congestion games, public goods games, volunteer's dilemmas) in this paper with G. Nöldeke, recently published in Dyn Games Appl (open access).

SpringerLinkCooperative Dilemmas with Binary Actions and Multiple Players - Dynamic Games and ApplicationsThe prisoner’s dilemma, the snowdrift game, and the stag hunt are two-player symmetric games that are often considered as prototypical examples of cooperative dilemmas across disciplines. However, surprisingly little consensus exists about the precise mathematical meaning of the words “cooperation” and “cooperative dilemma” for these and other binary-action symmetric games, in particular when considering interactions among more than two players. Here, we propose definitions of these terms and explore their evolutionary consequences on the equilibrium structure of cooperative dilemmas in relation to social optimality. We show that our definition of cooperative dilemma encompasses a large class of collective action games often discussed in the literature, including congestion games, games with participation synergies, and public goods games. One of our main results is that regardless of the number of players, all cooperative dilemmas—including multi-player generalizations of the prisoner’s dilemma, the snowdrift game, and the stag hunt—feature inefficient equilibria where cooperation is underprovided, but cannot have equilibria in which cooperation is overprovided. We also find simple conditions for full cooperation to be socially optimal in a cooperative dilemma. Our framework and results unify, simplify, and extend previous work on the structure and properties of cooperative dilemmas with binary actions and two or more players.
