Paul, Part of what I have not yet been able to well articulate is that folks are unlikely to ever figure out the value of the commons and sharing so long as cooperation narratives are offered primarily as counters to a prevailing competition narrative. If instead of legitimizing the competition narrative by offering cooperation as a counter, we cut the legs out from under the competition narrative itself, it seems to me that would be more effective. And it's not that hard, because to the extent the competition narrative is based on Darwin, then it's fully vulnerable...because survival of the fittest is _not_ a gloss for "Might makes right", but is simply the tautological observation that what works works, and that what works in one setting often fails in another.
Or so it seems to me. As I said, this is not well articulated yet. rl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CooperationCommons" group.
