The article discusses how political actors make rational choices based on their preferences and the preferences of others in games. Even if an outcome hurts everyone, it doesn't mean the players are irrational. Ethical decisions should consider the context of the situation. If compromise outcomes in games like prisoner's dilemma are morally acceptable, rules should be changed to make these choices more strategic. Strategic thinking can help understand moral issues in social choices, while ethics can help avoid moral dilemmas in games.
