Stupidity is inherently criminal. In a fully rational prisoner's dilemma game, you ought to cooperate. However, if someone will defect eventually, you ought to defect. If someone is not rational, they will usually defect. By mistake if nothing else.

Hence if your partner is not fully rational then all else equal you ought to defect immediately. Exactly as if they were a deviant criminal.

The correct response is to change your partner's payout matrix. If the payoffs in the prisoner's dilemma are too subtle for him to perceive with his limited faculties then embed him in an organization that provides feedback optimized for his less forward-thinking nature.

Enslaving him is only necessary if he is *extremely* short-sighted. Think more mafia levels of coercion to compel loyalty. Because both guys know the harshness with which defectors are treated both know the other won't defect so they both get off light

Mind-slaving him may be polite because he doesn't notice, but it isn't not slavery.

Some can be trusted to follow their own self-interest in a long term way; others less; still others almost not at all but all require the cooperation to survive and thrive so have to submit to the conditions required to attain it. Bears could turn that deal down; men can't.
