"LEVITT: I’m not sure whether I should be embarrassed that the moral code that guides my daily life is essentially tit-for-tat. I have read a lot of great philosophers and my fair share of self-help books, but the truth is tit-for-tat is one that speaks to me. My first life principle is to be nice. My second life principle is to be provokable. When someone tries to take advantage of me, I’m willing to fight. My third life principle is to be forgiving. I believe in second and third chances, although I still have some work to do to reach the unlimited forgiveness embodied by tit-for-tat. All in all, these principles seem like a pretty good framework to build a life — not bad for a strategy that only requires two lines of code."

Great mention by Steven LEVITT

Who is also willing to take tit-for-tat as their life principle? **Being nice, being provokable and being forgiving.**
