Personally, I’m playing a larger game — life. The payoff matrix is a lot more like the iterated prisoner’s dilemma — except that it’s a little easier because there are various ways of signalling that I’m going to be initially cooperative. One such way is joining a society of any kind (such as a society of game theorists), or being successful generally (since very few truly self-interested people get very far in life). So I don’t actually think that the results are necessarily non-rational.
