It's the glory of the commons, not the tragedy of the commons. Go to the library!!!
Brilliant.
“ Adams is very proudly a skeptic on all of these matters, and is skeptical as a general rule, which is unsurprising, since skepticism is a common posture among those who believe one of the foundational tenets of supremacy--that reality must be mediated through and approved by them in order to be deemed real by the rest of US.”
