So where Smith would have said the invisible hand of the market for the production of goods, services, and information as a common good (for all), we produce norms, traditions, institutions by compromises (delayed gratification) that make COMMONS possible, including markets.

Would require I write something long form that I don’t have time for at the moment. My point is that unwin makes the conservative mistake of hyper reductionism claiming this one thing was the cause, instead of a one of the symptoms of a more abstract set of causes.

We can break down their group strategies that give birth to their metaphysics, and in turn their myths and symbols, but it’s unlikely without exhaustive accounts of daily life we can grasp their symbols. Try to read ancient greek. The vast interpretation necessary’s distancing.

Pretty much. And the failure of our institutions to evolve at a sufficient pace for the rate of adaptation pressure the populations were subject to. That said, w/o world war 1, I don’t see why the prewar progressive reforms wouldn’t have succeeded. Instead the postwar devolution.

Unwin isn’t ‘wrong’ he’s just ‘early’. It took Hayek (behavioral capital) and Becker (economics of human behavior) and many others in between, to explain the problem of knowledge, incentives, and producing humans that willingly (and irrationally) produce COMMONS using incentives.

That’s overstating it. Instead, in the hierarchy of institutions of civilizational capital management, the institution that most democratizes the expansion of individual responsibility is marriage. So if we lose marriage we lose the whole hierarchy of responsibility for commons.

Germans will solve their problems with time. They’re german. 😉 They aren’t english or american so they don’t politically adapt quickly. But they will. Why? They’re gone if they dont.

I noticed this in RU and UA, that lack of access to english was a limitation, because somewhere on the internet, in english, is the best practice for doing anything. https://twitter.com/powerfultakes/status/1598517676019781632
