You are a criminal, and you and your confederate in crime have both been captured by the authorities?

I have no idea what the Nash Equilibrium is, but I'll give this a shot anyway. Knowing myself, if I ever got into a little criminal get together, I would have discussed the eventuality before-hand. Yes, I'm a realist (not a pessimist).

Good. Does your answer fit the paradox of the prisoner's dilemma of the Nash Equilibrium where both prisoners choose the worst of all outcomes?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
