  1. It's wisdom, not just knowledge. This is the kind of information that benefits the person who understands it.

  2.  @gablesguitars  I think it's like that expression about horses and water. People can be taught knowledge, but have to accept it for themselves before they can understand it, and the knowledge becomes wisdom.

  3. This is a wonderful video! Thank you for making it. I've read about the Prisoner's Dilemma before, but you and your guests described it in a very clear, accessible way. You actually talked to Professor Axelrod! That is so incredibly cool. Also, I'd like to elaborate on a point you make at the end of the video. This is the reason life is fundamentally anti-entropic - living things always tend to increase order in their local environment, because cooperation is better for individuals than unrestricted selfishness. It's the reason multicellular life forms evolved. If selfish strategies were better overall, the world would contain nothing except for marauding amoebas and parameciums.
