The handy applet does not work when I browse with Windows Internet Explorer.
It works when I use Mozilla Firefox.
Defecting sounds harmless and good; perhaps. I would have used the word deceive. A defector is someone who agrees to cooperate and then does not cooperate. That appears to coincide with the division between political (defector) and earner (cooperator), where, if you can follow this line of thought defectors intend to profit at the expense of cooperators and cooperators merely want to ‘defect’ from ‘defectors’ and by doing so they manage to cooperate with other cooperators.
The bottom line, it seems, and is reinforced by the whole ‘prisoner’s dilemma’ explanation of ‘game theory’ that the cause of the problem is the choice to defect (meaning – to deceive and pretend to cooperate while doing the opposite). The introduction of falsehood is the problem.
It is probably very instructive to point out that half of ‘game theory’ (the defector half) was utilized by the founders of neo-conservative politicians, Strauss I think, and I can point that out now with a Google Search.

I found it in the free media
"Fuck you buddy" is half of game theory.
The other half are the cooperators.
