Life is “nasty, brutish, and short,” says Thomas Hobbes.

Dacher Keltner believes evolution has given Homo sapiens emotions like gratitude, joy, amusement, and compassion. They help us survive and build cooperative and ethical societies.

I made a hole in the forest so the light shined in, and started writing.

I put my mind to the pages of my journal, explaining myself to myself.

Representation

Stephen Crowley/The New York Times (Jan 2017)

Judy Woodruff: There are a lot of Democrats who are changing their registration.

Tamara Keith: There are not enough Democrats in Wyoming to help her win. That said, she has the Cheney name and is unlikely to disappear from the political scene, certainly.

Amy Walter: And a lot of Democrats nationally are writing checks to her. She has a very big bank account right now. She’s not going to spend it all down even in this primary. You can’t spend that much money in Wyoming.

Voters are pissimistic about the economy and think that Biden and Democrats aren’t doing a good job and believe Republicans would do better. That’s what you make the campaign about.

The more the campaign is about Donald Trump, January 6, abortion, the better it is for Democrats. It becomes really a choice election, instead of a referendum.

And even if it is a referendum between Biden and Trump, that’s probably pretty good for Democrats, not very good for Republicans.

Confrontation

2×2 Matrix

In a simple tit-for-tat strategy, one begins by cooperating and then mimics the other player’s moves. Tit-for-tat is nice in that it is willing to cooperate and it does not bear a grudge. It also cannot be exploited because any defection from cooperation will be returned.
