I’d like to hear more about this. I’m not sure I understand the term “moral strategy” when it’s perfectly aligned with optimal personal outcomes (ability to out-compete other strategies). If it’s an optimal strategy, why do you need to label it “moral” or “immoral”?
What I mean by “moral strategy” is a strategy that’s recommended by an observer’s moral system. I think that isn’t necessarily the strategy that’s optimal, at least for non-consequentialist ethics. (An immoral strategy would be any strategy that’s prohibited by that moral system.) If there are a bunch of prisoner’s dilemma-type games happening out there in the world, and they tend towards an equilibrium where people are using strategies that aren’t recommended or are even prohibited (according to some observer’s ethics), then that’s bad (according to that observer) even if the outcomes are optimal.
