But they're right. The next guy will do it if you don't. And you'll be fired meaning you won't have any power any more, and the person who thinks DRM is good will be hired and become powerful in your stead. How does that help?

> You are the next guy

If you don't understand this, then you just don't understand.

[trumpdong]

Everyone can be the next guy. I can be him or the next next guy can. Do you know the prisoner's dilemma?

[vasco]

Yes, and I'm advocating for a specific quadrant.

[trumpdong]

You only get to choose a half. The previous guy chooses the quadrant.

[vasco]

I'll spell it out in case someone else truly doesn’t understand since you're just determined not to.

Pro-social actions are taken more often if you believe others will also take pro-social actions. The best way to do it is to believe you're the same as other people and that other people are good, and that you're not the patsy when you take a pro-social decision and others don't. Because you're the next guy for someone.
