It's a beautiful idea, but not really political (politics is about groups over time; this is a mechanism for a 2-person 1-shot transaction). If you scale it up to politics level, it becomes Rawls veil of ignorance I think.

Politics is definitionally zero sum in my philosophy. That’s in fact the best-case scenario since it’s usually negative sum. Positive-sum history generally takes new technological forces operating.

if you don’t giggle at the absolute perfection of this principle it’s because you’re upset that every political philosophy you’ve advocated is useless by comparison or are well-adjusted enough to have internalized it and don’t have to constantly rederive fair political principles
