The mechanisms your parents relied on: stable employment, affordable healthcare, a functioning judiciary, a pension that outlives the work, psychological stability based in the employment experience, were dismantled in plain sight while you were learning to read.

„People aren’t FAIR, data might be“ but people failed to recognize data practices and efforts of others. We have a digital #TragedyOfTheCommons in research and open science.

Digital #TragedyOfTheCommons: Scholars who announce the publication of their recent paper on more or less public email lists. This behavior is selfish and worsens the experience for everyone.

“Most would agree that the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’ thesis is flawed, logically inconsistent, and downright dangerous…

Yet it has taken on a life of its own as an enduring master myth.” - @amberhuff.bsky.social

Speaking for the San Francisco Bay Area, we've got what Sara describes: Cute old bungalows with mature gardens replaced by 'McMansions' taking up 90% of the lot + NIMBYs voting against any housing or transit for service workers needed = gridlock.
#TragedyOfTheCommons late capitalist edition?
The alternative to old bungalows being torn down and replaced by a number of condos or townhomes that costs roughly the same is the old bungalow being torn down and replaced by a large house that costs 3x as much.
This is literally what happened before rezoning

Bit more than that, he's using Bansky as a modern reflection on the #fallacy of the theory of the #TragedyOfTheCommons as taught in every economic course at Uni around the world!

Anyway, that's my pitch @itvx.com - happy to work up those scripts and work out what the fuck the #Thunderbirds are supposed to do about those societal, #TragedyOfTheCommons type problems!

Banning social media for under 16s is the only way we can avoid them ending up in the top left quadrant even though most would choose the bottom right if they could.

#tragedyofthecommons
Social media adoption is a coordination game, and there are both good and bad equilibria.

Perhaps a ban feels like over-reach, but realize the profit motive pushes the bad equilibrium. Australia's policy aims to remedy this, making the good equilibrium focal. Not sure there's a lighter touch remedy

〝Once again we find ourselves enacting a tragedy of the commons: short-term economic self-interest encourages using cheap A.I. content to maximize clicks and views, which in turn pollutes our culture and even weakens our grasp on reality.〞

All very understandable from a game theory perspective.
I wish we had more people in policy that have a decent grasp on game theory and know how to leverage on that.
