The Nash Equilibrium is a point where neither player can unilaterally improve their position by changing strategy (if their opponent stays the same). This is not the same as the best outcome. In the prisoner's dilemma, both confess is the Nash Equilibrium - neither player benefits by changing from confession to silence if their opponent stays on confession.

The ...
