Uh, spending effort on hurting people is negative-sum and most likely lose-lose, while teaching someone to hunt is positive-sum lose-win. Or maybe you see some deeper mystery here that I’m not seeing?
The problem with “lose-lose” is that it relies upon there being a “defualt outcome given no interaction”. Vladimir is trying to taboo this concept, at least in general. So I am going to focus on a relevant special case, namely specific interactions available in the ancestral environment.

What ancestral environment are you thinking of?
