What is this

it's hard work keeping commons free and open, but the overwhelming incentive for users to keep it open far outweighs that of the few to own the commons. Hegalian dialectic that, the overwhelming incentive for liberty as a whole 👌

The original concept of "tragedy of the commons" was developed by Hardin, and used the concepts from it to rationalize population control. The idea was challenged by Elinor Ostrom, which showed that the tragedy of the commons wasn't universal across many societies.
