Chapter 159: The Prisoner's Dilemma
In another world, there is a famous game theory called the "prisoner's dilemma". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The "Prisoner's Dilemma" is an important game theory model. The model assumes that two people who conspire to commit a crime are in prison and cannot communicate with each other. If neither of them denounces the other, each goes to jail for a year because the evidence is uncertain; If one person denounces and the other is silent, the whistleblower is immediately released for meritorious service, and the silent person is imprisoned for five years for non-cooperation; If they expose each other, they will both be sentenced to two years in prison because the evidence is conclusive.
At this time, the best option for the two prisoners as a whole is for both to remain silent, so that they only need to spend a year in prison each. But the problem is that the prisoners can't trust each other or be sure that the other won't betray themselves, so everyone tends to expose each other rather than keep silent.
The problem with the prisoner's dilemma is that the best choice for the individual is often not the best choice for the group. The reason for this paradox is the asymmetry of information, that is, we can never know what is really going on in each other's heads, and we can only guess and make decisions that are best for our own individuals. Such a situation exists widely between people, but in the desolate world, it exists between demons and demons, or between humans and demons at the same time.
These two prisoners can be two human beings, suspicious of each other's ability to secretly learn the Cultivation Exercises, or suspicious of the other Party's accusations that they have learned the Cultivation Exercises; They can also be two demon clans, suspicious of each other's doves who obey the ban or disgruntled hawks.
Of course, the more obvious analogy is that the demon race and the human race itself, maybe it is a better choice to abide by the ban on Lishan and coexist with the demons, but the demon clan does not know that among the thousands of human races, there will be people who will run to learn the cultivation of the true exercises, and are hiding in the shadows to covet their demon pills; And the human race is also worried that the demon clan will suspect that they have learned the exercises, and suddenly one day they will kill themselves, after all, the slaughter that happened in the Zhurong clan is already a bloody example.
Once this chain of suspicion is formed, it will continue to live and cycle indefinitely, and among the thousands of sentient beings in the wilderness, there will always be one or two demon clans who will choose to strike first and kill all these cheap clans to ensure their own safety; At the same time, there are always some human beings who will take risks, rather than quietly waiting for the day when the neck is killed, it is better to steal the exercises, kill the demon and take the pill, and strike first. These sporadic examples can intensify the chain of suspicion, which eventually turns the spark of distrust into a prairie fire.
It's an irreversible process, like a seed planted in the spring that will inevitably bear fruit in the fall. Although the strength of the co-work is lacking, the planning and layout are all upright and upright. This is calculated as the demon heart of human nature, the so-called cause and effect, the so-called fate, and nothing more. Suspicion and jealousy, hatred and estrangement, they may not erupt immediately, but they will brew over time, turn into ripples and spread layer by layer in the desolate world, and finally turn into monstrous waves. And the confrontation between the white tiger and the bear spirit in front of him is just a small microcosm of the ripples that have swept the entire human world.
Sanmiao looked at Bao Xi, who was not good-looking, and Xiong Ling, who pursed his lips and said nothing, and also felt that this matter was a bit tricky. He didn't immediately express his position, but instead asked, "Who are those two who disobeyed orders?" Which department? ”
The wind commander lowered his head and said: "Lord Hui, it is the ugly yin and ugly yang of the Kanbu. ”
Sanmiao frowned when he heard this, and said, "Aren't these two boys from the ugly ghost family?" What about the ugly ghosts? ”
"Ugly ghost he ....."
"Dad was killed by Zhurong's demon king!" Before the Wind Commander could finish speaking, two sturdy young men walked out of the camp in the rear, their sturdy upper bodies were bare, and although they looked only about the same age as the Li Li on the side, their bodies were covered with shocking scars. These scars are a testament to the glory of this era, indicating that their owners were already excellent hunters and good warriors. They knelt down in front of Sanmiao, but their heads were held high, obviously unconvinced.
The eyes of the audience suddenly focused on the two young people, and the Li next to him said softly: "Ugly brother, why did you come out?" ”
One of the young men arched his hand at Shen Li and said, "Thank you, Brother Shen, and thank you to the noble totem for taking you in, but the good man is a good man, and now the Wind Commander has to kill them all, so we will come out, so as not to involve the nobles." ”
The wind commander reprimanded: "You two children don't know anything, that wooden card is very important, the clan will put it away for the time being, please consult the Niangniang Holy Judge before making a decision." If you listen to some persuasions, how can you be embarrassed by your friendship with ugly ghosts for so many years? Ugly yin, your brother is a fool, are you also such a tendon? ”
The slightly shorter young man kneeling on the ground was about the younger brother Chouyin that Commander Feng said, and he said when he heard this: "Commander Feng, Lord Sanmiao, the three of us father and son are ordered to ask for co-labor, but the barbarian demons of Zhurong are making things difficult in every way, and they treat human life as nothing. Niangniang set up a ban in Lishan, 'The demon clan shall not harm humans for no reason', and this ban is like bullshit on the west shore of Erhai Lake. Although our brothers are young, they have also seen a lot of life and death, if my father dies under the claws of the beasts of the wilderness, or dies at the hands of the rebels, it is a well-deserved death, it is the glory of the warrior, and the soul can be returned to the gods after death. But now my father died tragically at the hands of the friendly demon king, this is a humiliating death, and our brothers can't help but avenge this revenge. ”
This ugly yin has clear logic and clear expression, but he is indeed a smart and clever person.
Sanmiao was silent for a moment and asked softly, "Then how do you want to take revenge?" ”
"Learn the exercises of the rebel clan, kill Zhu Rong, and kill the murderer!"
"Learn the method of success, and kill the murderer." Sanmian faintly repeated the words of the ugly yin, he did not elaborate on how reckless the young man's thoughts were, nor did he say that the culprit Shadow Wolf King had died, but followed the words of the ugly yin, "As far as I know, the conditions for this human race's cultivation of the true cultivation method are harsh, and those who meet the conditions are one in a million. What if you don't have that qualification? ”
The ugly yin stiffened for a moment, then suddenly knocked his head down heavily, and said astringently, "Go back to your lordship...... Kill the demons! Take Dan! ”
"Presumptuous!" The Wind Commander shouted, "Are you two little cubs crazy?" I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick! Come! Tie them back! ”
"Slow down," San Miao waved his hand, stopping the Nuwa people who wanted to step forward, "Commander Feng, I know that you have a deep friendship with the ugly ghosts, and I am afraid that if they continue to talk nonsense, I will provoke me, and I want to save their lives." Don't worry, I won't take their lives. ”
The wind commander puffed down and knelt down, knocked his head and kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "The adults have misunderstood, the little ones don't have such thoughts." ”
"That's it, I don't blame you, why are you doing like this?" San Miao waved his hand and said to the ugly yin again: "Yes, there is indeed a chance that the raw demon pill can stimulate the meridians and make them meet the conditions for cultivation. But where are you going to get the demon pill? Otherwise, I'll give you mine? (To be continued.) )
