More & more convinced that making key public goods - transport, waste, health, education, social media, energy etc - non-profit commons may be the most important climate strategy of all.

With privatisation shareholder profit determines all the decisions & policies of these providers - not what is best for planet & people. If we as a society agree that these should just be realms for the common good, not for profit, then sustainable policies can be adopted swiftly, at every level

I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

"The insidious nature of such generative #AI models is that they produce plausible sounding #health information in a smooth conversational style, that is at best is generic in nature and at worst completely fictional. The problem is that most people cannot tell the difference between the two." The #ethics of AI is going to be a topic that won't gain traction until either normies start dying in numbers, or techbros start getting sued into oblivion. https://medium.com/@guruduth.banavar/chatgpts-deep-fake-text-generation-is-a-threat-to-evidence-based-discourse-c096164207e0

There is no such thing as the tragedy of the commons: a thread.

The oldest published reference to the idea is in a lecture by an early political economist at Oxford, William Foster Lloyd, in 1832 titled "On the Checks to Population." Lloyd first articulated the argument that many of us have been taught as an inevitable and immutable fact of economic life: that any resource owned in common will be exploited to the point of ruin.

"Why are the cattle on a common so puny and stunted? Why is the common itself so hare-worn, and cropped so differently from the adjoining inclosures? No inequality, in respect of natural or acquired fertility, will account for the phenomenon."
