I feel it only makes sense to stick to the definition implied in the original post. If you change the definition, you’re having a completely different discussion.

Then why are you bringing up game theory?

The point is to apply game theory to the given premise, not change the premise in some way. Once you consider, even for a moment, how all the players in the proposed system would respond to their situation it obviously would not work.

I get what you mean, but you would expect people to import game theory yet importing anything yourself just confuses the whole thing?

Politics aren’t manipulated and how things work are organic. So we should just be happy since look at this math, cause behavior and statistics aren’t game-able.
