The Game Simulation and the Different Outcomes

The podcast episode discusses a game simulation conducted by Dr. Z, a sociologist, to analyze socially controlling societies like chivalry. In the game, participants were assigned regions and leaders who had control over the finances. The outcome for low authoritarian followers was positive, with the leaders working collaboratively, solving global issues, and ensuring economic growth. However, the high authoritarian group engaged in self-centered actions, resulting in nuclear war and global destruction.
