The prisoners dilemma is not real life mate. You're trying to simplify something down to a thought experiment - you look silly. The prisoners dilemma is a puzzle with very specific restrictions and rules. It's designed to make you THINK. It's not designed to be a guide for real life.

But, I'll steelman you. Let's say it IS the prisoners dilemma. Exactly the same. Remove all obvious other variables that come from real life and simplify it down to just that. What are you trying to conclude? Are you really trying to form your moral principles from a thought experiment? I really hope not. You might want to look for a better moral compass to judge others by.

You sound ridiculous.
