[Intro]
Running down time
(Racing to the finish line)
Running out the clock
(Depleting our stock)
[Verse 1]
Entered the human race
But they couldn’t keep pace
Running the wrong direction
Without a conception
[Chorus]
Running down time
(Racing to the finish line)
Running out the clock
(Depleting our stock)
[Bridge]
Can I win
If you lose
Can I choose
Ready? (Begin.)
[Verse 2]
Where’s the human
(In humane)
How to begin
(In thy vain)
[Chorus]
Running down time
(Racing to the finish line)
Running out the clock
(Depleting our stock)
[Bridge]
Can I win
If you lose
Can I choose
Ready? (Begin.)
[Chorus]
Running down time
(Racing to the finish line)
Running out the clock
(Depleting our stock)
[Bridge]
Can I win
If you lose
Can I choose
Over again?
[Outro]
Can I choose
Over again?
A SCIENCE NOTE
Have you ever seen A Beautiful Mind, the movie about John Forbes Nash Jr.? One of our earlier papers on climate change, “The Golden Rule’s Social Justification,” draws heavily on Nash’s Nobel-winning work on Game Theory. Interestingly, it aligns closely with other core scientific, moral, and ethical principles. For a societal view, see the companion paper, Never Wake a Sleeping Giant.
Hypothesis:
The Golden Scales of Justice
Q: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or what?
A: Or, the elimination of all players is possible.
Proof: The Golden Rule can be applied to economics similarly to Nash’s Equilibrium (or Le Chatelier’s Principle in chemistry.)
“The best responses of all players are in accordance with each other.” — John Nash, Jr.
“If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.” — Le Chatelier’s Principle
Key Question:
What happens when the responses of all players are not aligned?
Answer: Justification for potential outcomes, including destabilization.

Imagine society as a sleeping giant, with the few awake individuals — like you and me — sitting next to this giant. Do you want to startle the giant and suddenly wake him?
