[Intro]
Cooperative assignment
(Collective alignment)
Sustainable equilibrium
(Or drown in free dumb)
[Verse 1]
What’s it going to be
(All as we)
Guess we’re going to see
(If it’s just for me)
[Chorus]
Nash’s insight is right
(Come see the light)
Future could be bright
(Join in the light)
[Bridge]
Sustainable equilibrium
(Or drown in free dumb)
Cooperative assignment
(Collective alignment)
[Verse 2]
What are you going to do
(Only you)
How will you get through
(As a chosen few)
[Chorus]
Nash’s insight is right
(Come see the light)
Future could be bright
(Join in the light)
[Bridge]
Sustainable equilibrium
(Or drown in free dumb)
Cooperative assignment
(Collective alignment)
[Chorus]
Nash’s insight is right
(Come see the light)
Future could be bright
(Join in the light)
Come be the light
(Join in the light)
[Outro]
Sustainable equilibrium
(Or drown in free dumb)
A SCIENCE NOTE
“The best responses of all players are in accordance with each other.”
— John Nash, Jr. (Nobel Prize Winner in Economics for Game Theory)
John Nash’s quote, “The best responses of all players are in accordance with each other,” reflects the principle of a Nash Equilibrium in game theory, where each participant in a system acts in a way that is optimal given the actions of others. Applying this concept to the climate crisis reveals important insights about global cooperation and collective action. When each player sees the benefits of cooperating rather than acting selfishly, the system moves toward an equilibrium that benefits everyone.
Nash’s insight underscores the need for collective alignment to solve the climate crisis. The “best responses” for each player must be designed with global coordination in mind. Only through mutual cooperation and aligned strategies can humanity achieve a sustainable equilibrium and address this existential challenge.
