Description
New discoveries in archeology confirm what economists have understood for some time: that humanity’s ability to survive and thrive is as much a result of our ability to cooperate as to compete. Indirect reciprocity—which prompts people to help unrelated strangers—has emerged as the most effective mechanism yet innovated by ‘the most invasive species’: enabling humans to achieve more—collectively—than would have been attainable—individually. But mitigating climate change demands that we cooperate to an unprecedented degree. In these Stander sessions, students will combine forces and play cooperative games in which the game is either positive sum (everybody’s a winner) or negative sum (everybody’s a loser). Games with different degrees of difficulty are available, and—space permitting—students can play as many iterations as desired. Sessions officially begin at 10:00, noon and 2:00 PM, but since game lengths are fungible, patient people—those with low rates of time preference—can arrive anytime and wait for a new game to commence.
