- stcredzero 10y agoIt doesn't matter it's the commons. Oh yes, it does! There's a ton of historical, economic, and game theoretic work that indicates this matters. A lot! You want people to behave? Teach real civics in the schools. That only provides the information, not the incentive. If you want people to behave, give them a stake in society.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoAll good points. Perhaps I was too flippant. To clarify, it does matter how people behave. I just have little faith that the commons won't continue to fall tragedy to itself without some sort of indoctrination (or incentive system as you pointed out).
