Arrival
It's a Non-zero-sum Game

Louise's daughter asks her for the technical term of a deal in which both sides can win, and Louise does not recall the term at the time. Louise's team has a discussion about their findings on alien data, and they realize that there are 12 total groups, each with a different set of data. They will need to share data with the other groups in order to obtain the full set of data, which they determine is a non-zero-sum game. Louise then recalls the technical term for a win-win situation and relays it to her daughter.

like a technical term
0:22
where we make a deal and we both get something out of it
0:26
I compromise
0:28
so
0:29
like
0:30
its competition
0:32

seems to be talking about time
1:37
there's some of the time
1:39
he's
1:40
everywhere
1:41
so what is
1:43
performing for fashion like travel
1:47
you can tell
1:49
too many gaps
1:50
that is complete
1:52
then it dawned on me
1:56
right here
1:59
folks in the ones
2:01
that the Xerox
2:02
how much of this
2:03
data
2:03
how much of it is negative space
2:07
so I measured it
2:10
point
2:11
eight three three recurring
2:18
perhaps you'd like to add as a fraction
2:24
one of twelve
2:29
what they're saying right here is that
2:31
this is one of twelve
2:32
we are part of a larger whole
2:34
or one of twelve contestants for the price
2:36
you have to talk to him
2:37
grow working together
2:39
we need to talk to the other sites
2:41
we need to help them with what they've gotten from the other have to punch in case you don't remember were blacked out
2:45
China just threaten to destroy their shell we're on our own
2:48
says that all of the pieces fit to and I'm telling you that no one else cares
2:53
two hours ago we pulled this audio office secure channel in Russia someone on the science team there was broadcasting why
3:01
in their final session
3:03
the alien said
3:04
there is no time
3:06
many become one
3:08
I feel we have all been given weapons
3:11
he's receiving this
3:13
please
3:20
he
3:23
a lot of ways you can interpret
3:25
what he says I don't need
3:26
an interpreter to know what this means Russia just executed one of their own experts
3:30
to keep their secrets
3:31
many
3:32
become one could just be their way of saying some
3:34
assembly required
3:35
why
3:36
handed out to us in pieces why not just give it all over
3:39
forces to work together for once
3:42
even if I did believe you how in the world you can I get anybody else to play along
3:46
give up their data
3:49
we offer our some return
3:51
yeah
3:53
I tried
3:54
to non zero sum game
3:58
non zero sum game
4:02
that's it
4:03
yeah
4:04
thanks
