why a commons?

and the outcome of the game is
predetermined.
finite + infinite = design challenge
this is a “commons” congress.
1. give me a place to stand, and a lever, and i
shall move the world.
every age has its own lever.
ours is data.
sciencetrends
towards finite.
“the war on cancer”
“defeating death”
what of the fulcrum?
2. if it’s finite v. infinite, who wins?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States spent more on health care per capita ($7,146), and more on health care as percentage of its GDP (15.2%), than any other nation in 2008. The Commonwealth Fund ranked the United States last in the quality of health care among similar countries, and notes U.S. care costs the most.

in the absence of intervention, the

4. we need to choose the right place to stand.
a. “just like now, but moreso”
b. small matrix of companies
c. us
sharing by small but coherent groups can
create asymmetrically valuable resources.
the commons is the place we stand.
designing it requires
collaboration at every level
there will still be finite games embedded.
but the right design choices make it
work for us, by us.
building together is more fun than
opposing the finite.
we are very hard to attack.
we few, we happy few.
we are enough.
