Prisoner of Time

Ian Cook at Truck & Barter pointed out a great post at The Idea Shop. Andrew Chamberlain investigated tardiness as a prisoner's dilemma game.

Andrew proposes that one consciously or subconsiously shows up late because being late is a dominant strategy and a Nash equilibrium in the game. No other option will consistently provide the best payoff.

Since showing up late is a trait common in my family, this is a very interesting idea.
