Re: [xmca] intersubjectivity, deception, perhaps also theory of mind

Mike,

Many centuries ago my dissertation research was a study (video) of college
students playing a modified version of the Prisoner's Dilemma. (I wanted to
do something more naturalistic but this was a psychology department!) I drew
on diverse literatures to explore the role of emotions in moral conflict.
There was deception, divergent perceptions of the same 'reality,' blame and
retribution, etc. It might be worth a quick look.
