Ep9: Using the Prisoner’s Dilemma to get from Non-mask-wearing to Joyful Militancy

Dave starts us out with a beautiful story about jazz, chess, coffee, and coming full circle. The show then dives into getting a better understanding of the world through the prisoner’s dilemma. Bob and Dave use this classic tool from game theory to understand the awful situation in spiking COVID in the U.S.; to getting a sense of the deep importance of mutual aid networks; and finally, to how social justice activists and revolutionaries can protect each other in times of great repression.

Huge thanks to In Heaven by Drake Stafford for our intro song, A Time for Action by Kennedy for our outro, and the prolific Joe Shine for the thumbnail art.
