No offense
Think all the rounds at once
If I know you won’t play a mutually beneficial game with me, I won’t play with you.
Short-sighted people solve the nearest conflict of interest. Far-sighted people see all of them at once — and build a system.
Negotiating without offense means thinking about every round, not just this one.
No point in quarreling with everyone. Don’t throw people away. Remember — the universe acts through other people.
