Why are you phrasing things as if "educated" and "good faith" are related?

> I don't want to be around uneducated people who act in bad faith

Are you fine with being around educated people who act in bad faith? Those generally cause much more damage.

In the game of prisoners dilemma, I want to be around people who practice the winning strategy.

A game to demonstrate why that is important: https://ncase.me/trust/

If you cooperate when others defect, you promote defection as a strategy.

If you defect when others cooperate, you undermine cooperation as a winning strategy.

So a community that shut down defectors and cooperates by default creates a community based around cooperation -- a high trust community.

Bad faith is another word for defection. It is hard to understand the game you are playing or see the consequences of your actions without education.
