I look forward to reading the paper, and to following development of these
ideas in the future.
The source says:
"Uncoordinated individuals in human society pursuing their personally
optimal strategies do not always achieve the social optimum, the most
beneficial state to the society as a whole. Instead, strategies form
Nash equilibria which are often socially suboptimal. Society,
therefore, has to pay a price of anarchy for the lack of coordination
among its members."
Or in other words, selfish drivers do not serve the common good and
give anarchists a bad name. Well, we knew that already didn't we.
