Hunger Games 2.0

Common sense has still proved hard to the human race. The Prisoner's Dilemna is the effect example on social interaction: cheating will have its quick vicotires in the short run but in the long-run. Holding hands seems to be the most effective option. Even the Tit for Tat, no matter tif its "...a forgiving strategy"(227), the world rewards a forgiving indiduval.
But I believe that "forgiveness" has nothing to do with the strategy, so therefore in my opion. I see a flaw in the system. No conscious human will ever do something out of pure charity, nn other words: human seek a profit always. So forgiveness haas nothing to it. The reason why humans decide to Cooperate is becuase both are gaining something from mutual cooperation. This is where the common sense kicks in: if cooperation pays off on both sides, then why is defection still a variable in the human's mind?
This variation of defection, then adds another variable to the equation: Grudgers. The addition of Grudgers plus Cheaters produces a never ending cycle of mistrust. Hence producing no progress. So this leads my next question: what if everything is uncontrollable?
"It is more exciting for crowds to watch players striving mightily against one another than to watch them conniving amicably." (224) The next ideas that will you will read will be purely founded on the "What If?" so please bear with me.
I personally don't know anyone who controls their genes. A person who can tell its body to perform more ATP production, or to activate meiosis or mitosis. We cannot control what are genes are, and what their actions will be. So I ask: what if the world has been programmed to be anti-boring? What if the human race is programmed to purposely place itself in hellish messes, and try to get out? Maybe the world has the utmost fear of reaching a utopian community. In all honesty, I'd rather live in a Favela than to be placed utopian community. If anyone has read The Giver, we should be on the same page. Eternal perfection and cooperation has never been on the world's schedule. History's most admired character's have come from the most horrible situations human race has produced. Thus one can explain this by saying that the world enjoys watching gladiator show-downs because from every hell-hole something or someone interesting will surge.
What else can we use to explain the utter stupidity of human-race: Take one hundred dollars but be shot tomorrow? Or take 50 dollars every day and everybody wins?
