Daily post #43 in a 50 part series leading up to April 1, 2017

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how to parse it. Are you a Supporter of the Aggression Principle (a SAP)?
Edit -- I guess you're saying how do we know pledgers aren't cheaters. This is a valid concern and trust does need to be earned. Steem with a different portal, and reputation scoring formula based on public commitments kept, balances perhaps held as a bond, others willing to vouch for you, etc. will help with this. Earlier posts in this series have addressed this.

Yes. The prisoner's dilemma is a dilemma because there is no solution without external context. There are in general two solutions.

external punishment for cheating, which is why the mafia have a code of silence, and
repeated rounds, in which you don't know when the rounds will end.
In terms of any particular community, they generally appeal to both solutions: the ability to fine and the continuation into the future.

I'm not saying I'm against a pledge - just that it is unlikely to work unless your pledgers have skin in the game, and can lose that value, or they are in it forever, and so is everyone else.
