If whoever made this video had actually read Hardin's Tragedy of the Commons, they would know that he was trying to argue that freedom to breed is a commons that should be restricted. The environment, free parking, the actual commons w/ cattle etc., are just examples. The issue is overpopulation, not environmental sustainability.

This video doesn't explain what the tragedy of the commons is for shit.

@holysharkbandanas1 English is a second language for me ;)

@ShwangShwing for 'knowing human psychology, I'd think you'd know how to spell VOLUNTARILY.

@quoththeraven777 If it works on some occasions than it's better then if it works on no occasions. It would be fairly impractical every farmer to own 1 square meter of foraging ground.

[quoththeraven777]

@ShwangShwing that would be nice and it has proven to work on some occasions, but one must remember it only takes two to argue

[ShwangShwing]

@quoththeraven777 Yeah, but the more people own it, the more common it becomes. So maybe ownership by a small group will work.

[quoththeraven777]

@ShwangShwing akevinbaynes is correct. This is showing what happens to resources when owned by a group or a coalition. If people own a piece of the commons, they are more likely to factor in costs of maintaining the land and keeping it nice and fruitful.

I think rules would be in place that are agreed upon by all or a majority to prevent what is being shown in the video.
