Ppl keep saying I'm wrong to like cooperation in one-off prisoner's dilemmas, bc it's "irrational." But that's only true if you're selfish.
I think that conflates what's easy to specify in toy models (personal gain) with the topic of conversation (preferences over outcomes).

That's fair, but I still don't think it's quite right to say economists typically model preferences so broadly as to include altruistim.

Plus, any real-world example or illustrative story explaining a prisoners dilemma to students describes the payoffs as individual gain/loss.
