A later paper is in the front chalk tray; called "Revisiting the Tragedy of the Commons". Please read it. As you do so, we need to ask ourselves if the three observations, or assumptions, at the beginning of the chapter are true. If we could set these up, perhaps we could avoid a tragedy of the commons.
1) How likely is it that we can develop a series of judgments and values for the world that can be mutally agreed upon?
2) How do we communicate the judgments and values to the whole of humanity?
3) Who administers and corrects when the judgments and values are in disarray?
Think carefully about these statements. You'll be using the opinions and answers to these questions on Friday.
