comedy of the commons


a play on the phrase tragedy of the commons. in the tragedy of the commons, each person tries to maximize their own benefit, and the end result is that everyone loses because of overutilization of limited resources. in the comedy of the commons, each person, while getting something for themselves, also (directly or indirectly) contributes back to the common good at the same time.
bittorrent makes use of the comedy of the commons, since the more people who partic-p-te, the better the service gets.
a joke that everybody copies and changes a little to seem like they made it up
that joke was comedy of the commons
because the irony of the “tragedy of the commons” is that humans (and our mental economics) are hugely stupid. sobig stupid.
slapstick, three-stooges stuff
that there on the tv is some comedy of the commons.
