Use economic game theory to discuss and model "Three monks have no water to drink"

Economic game theory is about calculating pros and cons. In fact, it is not suitable to be used on these monks, because they are not fake monks. That’s it, but since the story is there, let’s try to analyze the real reason. The method can be based on game theory:

The three monks are the closest group individually, so their ways of thinking are similar

Fetching water in a day will take up a lot of time for reading scriptures, and monks do not care about material gains and losses. Everyone will fetch water for others

Then it is equally likely that three monks A, B, and C will fetch water. If The overall probability of A going to fetch water is 33.33%. For A himself, the probability of misreading the scriptures is 100, so as a diligent and desireless monk, his choice is to be patient (1 This is the best choice to continue studying scriptures. The same is true for the other two monks. You said it’s not worth it to be thirsty. Then let’s talk about the benefits after talking about the expenses

The life of a monk The goal is to study sutras, achieve enlightenment and seek si (away from the world), so monks are said to avoid the world in troubled times and seek alms in prosperous times...Don't look at it utilitarianally, because the world is not beautiful at all in their view. Human nature is evil. When it is good, I will teach you. Isn't it normal for me to stay away from you... To put it far away, since the pursuit is enlightenment and immortality (or becoming a Buddha), the length of time as a human being is not a factor that needs to be considered. On the contrary, it may not be the most long-term, so I just If you can say that you don’t understand their world, then it’s over if you ask Zi Sha. You’re like that again, aren’t you? Zi Sha is guilty, and the reasons are too complicated. I’ll tell you what you want to know when I have time, or You can understand it in a week on Baidu (Baidu is sorry for not giving me some salary, forget it (`)), so I can’t kill it with words, I can only become enlightened, sit back and wait, sometimes it is very helpless, so after saying this, we Let’s really do the math. When A goes to fetch water, he misses the time to study the scriptures (negative benefit). When he comes back to fetch water, he simply continues to survive in time (zero benefit). If he doesn’t fetch water, he continues to chant sutras and endure the pain (positive benefit), because If you are thirsty and give up chanting (negative benefit), the profit probability of dying while chanting is greater than the profit probability of dying from old age while fetching water day after day, because death caused by the lack of water in the temple is not a personal cause (negative profit is zero)

Here we should understand that the real reason for the three monks (may also become enlightened) is to pursue and save themselves... In this mode, they chose the best
