Ivan achieves good outcomes despite his lack of overt strategizing. But I'm not sure whether that's because he's instrumentally rational in a low-IQ way; or whether it's because his behavior is virtuous, and his story's creators want to endorse virtuous behavior. However, I'm also uncertain about how far low-IQ instrumentally rational behavior diverges from folk virtue.
"Virtue" is doing things like cooperate on PD. "Virtue" is sort of folk rationality -- if everyone were virtuous outcomes would be pretty good.
