  "textContent": "There is a thought experiment in game theory called the prisoner’s dilemma. Two people get arrested. The police separate them and offer each one the same deal: give up the other person and walk free. If both stay quiet, both go free anyway. If one talks and the other doesn’t, the one who talked walks and the silent one gets the worst punishment in the scenario. If both talk, both take a moderate hit.",
