"In cooperation games, costly punishment is a detrimental and self-destructive behavior."

ya but the exploiters of us jobbled ain't about co operation
but co optation

now the helots are enraged they're calling for sensible solutions
not samson pull down that temple on em shit

"Put simply, winners don’t punish," says co-author David G. Rand of Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics and Department of Systems Biology. "Punishment can lead to a downward spiral of retaliation, with destructive outcomes for everybody involved. The people with the highest total payoffs do not use costly punishment."

but then
you can beat up some useless bums
to get the anger out ...right ???

"The house of cards is the more apt analogy. Any ideas of propping up same are daft. There was nothing behind the screen at Bear Stearns. How many other Bear Stearns? And, there is nothing behind this whole 'service'/'financial' economy"
i agree

the approach is wrong ended

gotta get the base fixed
by uncle buying up
all the original mortgages
any one wants to sell
at face value
will cost zillions but
money costs uncle nothing

inflation

hey the green toes were fearing inflation
from 1930 till 1940
meanwhile we ideled one third of a nation
on and off for ten years

the tumble down won't end till we
force uncle to stand ready to buy up
all america's house lot debt

steve waldman
a guy i can't get warm over
has this story to mirror
the basics of the present credit crisis
its our gang vintage
qutesy crap
about kids promising each other marbles
to do their chores for em

upshot promised marbles exceed real marbles ...blah blah blah

its really tedious and whats more others
begin to embroider and restitch

so i rip it ...some

god people of this site:

hark on to me

there are many solid
reasons the extended allegory
is today
as dead as the mid-eval catholic church

somethings are even more tedious then raw algebra

but mark as much as the fabric bores me
i commend your pains taking
reweave

is it really true
you can't punish people productively ???

that is unless you make their punishment
be more work

most economic punishment
job loss company bankruptcy
reduces the right now aggregate work put

and from a design of the whole persepective
we need to max the long run social work put right???

given the wild ride we call
progress thru corporate capitalism
with all its spells of idled real capacity
at what point
do we say
enough of this alibi for episodic slackery
forget the clever counter
to the venerable old adage
"a minute idle is a minute lost
to the great satan"
is it actually true
in a systemically unconstrained setting
that
"we lose long run work put
by following to closely this
homely heuristic
about full playgrounds
and empty job sites

the sack is costly punishment ...eh ??

"Our finding has a very positive message:
In an extremely competitive setting, the winners are those who resist the temptation to escalate conflicts, while the losers punish and perish,"

the contemporary for profit corporation
must play a dominance game within a co operative game

thus its moliere like quality

punishment or simply rewardless outcomes
for one sort or other type of employee is de rigeur ..eh ???

to step outside the corporate veil
and start to call
any economic system as a whole
built primarily out of these components
a co operative venture ....

say what ....?????

"researchers have suggested that costly punishment can compel cooperation in one-time interactions "

that's not anymore relevent here
then repeated interactions
i think many people want to
single out a few big bad thumbs
for a last time interaction
poed portland

you sound like a fraud or a fool or both

reading your tale
leaves me kold

saving for a house
what amount how long

fear of inflation
get a non dollar fixed security

oh ya you want that all to go to hell so you can afford the house lot
with the credit props pulled out from under it

start with this simple heuristic
given the economy is so interconnected
you'll likely lose at one end what you gain at the other
"paine" the thing to remember is that savers, and people who have been paying down their mortgages, were minding their own business. They didn't make this trouble."

rule one

first
punish the innocent

hey " yet now you want us to cover you."

no i want you to put "me " in jail
