Chapter 159: The Prisoner's Dilemma
In another world, there is a famous game theory called the "prisoner's dilemma". β Tomato ββ³ Novel Network -.
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. Tomato β³β‘ Net β --'.'f'q- Such a situation is widely seen between people, but in the desolate world, it exists between demons and demons, or between humans and demons.
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, or they can be two demons who are 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 the coexistence and co-prosperity of the human race, but the demon clan does not know that among the thousands of human races, there will be people who will run to secretly learn the cultivation of the true exercises, and are hiding in the shadows to covet their own demon pills; β Tomato small β³ said that the net ''-.
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; 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. Tomato -''.'f'q'x-s'And the confrontation between the White Tiger and Spirit Bear 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 the order?
The wind commander lowered his head and said: "Lord Hui, it is the ugly yin and ugly yang of the Kanbu. β
Hearing this, Sanmiao frowned and said, "Aren't these the two boys of the ugly ghost family?
"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 only looked about the same age as the one on the side, their bodies were covered with shocking scars. β‘ β βTomato Novel Network -'-.-f-q'x-s''.-c-o'm'These scars are all proof of glory in this era, indicating that their owners have been an excellent hunter and an excellent warrior. They knelt down in front of Sanmiao, but their heads were held high, obviously unconvinced.
The eyes of the audience suddenly focused on these two young people, and the next to him, Li Li, 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." β
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 embarrass you after so many years of friendship with ugly ghosts? Ugly yin, your brother is a fool, are you also like this?"
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. β
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 slash the murderer. He didn't elaborate on how reckless the young man's thoughts were, nor did he say that the culprit, the Shadow Wolf King, had died, but followed the words of the ugly yin, "As far as I know, the conditions for cultivating the true cultivation of this human race 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 demon!
"Presumptuous!" shouted the Wind Commander, "You two little cubs are crazy, you don't know how thick the sky is!
"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. β
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." β
"That's it, I don't blame you, why do you look like this?" San Miao waved his hand and said to the ugly yin again: "Yes, taking the demon pill does have a chance to stimulate the meridians and make them meet the conditions for cultivating the truth." But where are you going to get the demon pill?, or why don't you just give me mine?" )
