--- Quote from: "Brother's Keeper" ---Luke 6:41-44

41 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.' ''

1Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle, 4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.

This is from John 8 which also contains:

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?

34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.

Go in peace my child

Lol. That poor chump. She did kinda spell it out though, that she had no intention of splitting the take. Is this self-interest vs. "the common good?"

The game is all about self-interested behavior and in its original formulation is called the Prisoner’s Dilemma. Two prisoners face these outcomes: they betray each other (each gets ten years), they stay silent (each gets five years), one betrays and the other stays silent (the betrayer walks and the silent partner gets ten years).

Joe teaches the Prisoner’s Dilemma in school meetings with the aim of convincing the kids that it’s always best to betray one’s peer (be a “brother’s keeper”). On the face of it, he’s right:

Betrayal = freedom or ten years (all or nothing).
Stay silent = five years or ten years (half or nothing).  

Obviously, playing all or nothing is better than playing half or nothing, when your chances of getting nothing are 50% in each case.  

The trouble with Joe’s analogy is that as the number of brother’s keeper increases, so do the odds of a double betrayal. If everyone is a brother’s keeper, everyone gets the maximum punishment of ten years. You are better off betraying only if there are few brother’s keepers around or if you are pretty sure your peer will not betray you. It’s a lesson in crass opportunism.
