I don’t think I’ve ever thought of chicken that way… Questioning if I even understand it at all 😂
But yes, you’re right, the whole thing requires everyone to contribute equally for it all to work properly but, since everyone can momentarily benefit more by not, and politics is painfully shortsighted, they won’t do the right thing.
Isn’t it less of a game of a chicken and closer to a global Prisoners Dilemma? The best option for everyone is for everyone to do the thing, the best option for individuals is to not do the thing but the worst thing for everyone is to not do the thing?
I love how part of their reasoning is to somehow help with our dependence on the whims of the international oil and gas markets, as if this in any way addresses that. Unlike, you know, £22bn worth of wind, solar, tidal or nuclear energy might?
I just joined a Discord server of mostly AuDHD people. Much easier.
