 So Hobbes tells us that we need to leave the state of nature. We need to give up some of our rights in order to protect our own lives We have to enter the social contract. Okay, so here's a question. Do you agree with Hobbes? Should you leave the state of nature? Should you give up some of your rights? I mean, you know, give them up Not just pretend to give up but give up some of your rights in order to protect yourself Okay, well, let's try just figure this out whether you agree with Hobbes Let's play a game. It's called do you want the points? So I'm gonna offer you a game where you can earn points and whatever points you earn I'll take 1% of those points and add it to your final grade I'll take 1% of those points and add it to your final grade Okay, so in this game you have two options You can either decide to keep all the points to yourself or you can decide to share the points with the class You keep all the points for yourself or you decide to share the points with your class. Those are your two options All right Well, let's put this out in a chart All right If you decide yet you got two options to get out to keep all the points or you can share the points And everybody else has this choice too. They can keep all the points or share all the points All right Well, if everybody decides to share all the points everybody gets 50 points and 1% of that will be added to your final grade Right, so if everybody decides to share 1% of 50 will be added to your final grade But you could decide to keep all the points If you decide to keep all the points and at most one of the person So if at most two people decide to keep all the points each person gets 500 points and 1% of that is added to the final grade and Everybody else gets nothing Everybody else gets nothing Okay, but if more than two people decide to keep all the points Then everybody the entire class only gets 10 points Right, so if everybody decides to keep all the points Or excuse me if more than two people decide to keep all the points then everybody gets 10 points Okay On the other hand if well if you decide to share all the points and you know At most two other people decide to keep all the points well then you get nothing and Those two people or at most two people get 500 points All right Well, you might have some immediate intuitions about what you should choose right away, but take a look at this chart real quick Let's suppose There's at least two other people decide to keep all the points Well, what's the better option for you? Right is somebody if two other people decide to keep all the points What's the better option for you to decide to keep all the points or decide to share the points? Which choice gets you more points? Well, the somebody if two other people decide to keep all the points you get 10 and you decide to keep the points Then you get 10 points But if two other people decide to share the point excuse me to keep the points and you decide to share the points Then you get nothing So 10 points is better than no points So if two other people decide to keep all the points, then the better option for you is to also keep all the points. Well let's suppose everybody decides to share the points. What's the better option for you? To decide to keep all the points? Or decide to share the points? Now remember, we don't know who's decided what until after it's all done. So you don't know what people have chosen. But if everybody else decides to share the points and you decide to share the points, well then you get 50, and that's nice. But if everybody else decides to share the points and you decide to keep all the points, and at most two of you decide to keep all the points, then each of you gets 500 points. So what's the better option for you? Which is better? 500 or 50? Well, 500 is better. So what this means is, if at least two other people decide to keep all the points, it's better for you to keep all the points. If everybody else decides to share all the points, it's better for you to just decide to keep all the points. So this option has the best outcome regardless of what anybody does. Hmm, okay. So what do you decide to do? Do you decide to keep all the points or do you guys share them?
