Tragedy of the Commons
Jon Udell: Information routing: "In the 1968 essay that popularized the concept, 'The Tragedy of the Commons,' Garrett Hardin wrote:
Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit -- in a world that is limited. Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all."
Ineresting. I've been thinking a lot lately about how the world is a closed system, and how perpetual increase (revenue, house values, market share, etc) is not sustainable for everyone.
