The Tragedy of the Commons
From Dickinson College Wiki
Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all.
In sharp contrast to privatism, commonism privatizes the gain but commonizes the losses.
'Sustainable growth' is an oxymoron.
The maximum is not the optimum.
The morality of an act is a function of the state of the system at the time it is performed.
The population problem has no technical solution: It requires a fundamental extension in morality.
The quality of life and the quantity of it are inversely related.
Tragedy is the price of freedom in the commons... In other words, in a crowded world survival requires that some freedom be given up.
