We live in the wild west every day when we fail (everyday) to regulate our narcissists and psychopaths, this would be a better, more practical, ideal frame to work the ideas through; parasites and the host seeking homeostasis without being able to rid itself of the parasite and where survival means co-evolving.

Also the wild west frame is just a bunch of randos, no humans stay ungrouped for very long, even libertarians or propertarians. Insurance is always about covering your back, and the sub/dom game is more about the grid inside the group than the rando craziness the group is paranoid about (paranoia is always self-fulfilling).

A little admixture of perceptions of risk would be helpful here in looking at sub/dom games in group work, better than assuming these wild west particulates of humanity from either side of the debate above (particulate humanity is neither ideal nor real).

Nice and potentially helpful minecrafting of game theory gambits however.
