Glenn Fleishman"The Tragedy of the Commons" was written by a eugenicist and was effectively debunked as ahistorical fantasy decades ago. More propaganda in the service of privatizing public space and resources. Pass it on. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/the-tragedy-of-the-tragedy-of-the-commons/
Brian Dear@glennf Thanks. Really interesting.
The essay also, rightly I think, mentions how responding to the planetwide emergency requires a response rivalling that not seen since WWII, something I’ve been thinking about lately too. A level of mobilization, focus, and sacrifice at all levels of society as well as industry. Drop what you’re building/doing and build/do this instead. Author Kim Stanley Robinson addresses much of this in the must-read MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE.
