Some scholars have argued that over-exploitation of the common resource is by no means inevitable, since the individuals concerned may be able to achieve mutual restraint by consensus. Others have contended that the metaphor of a common pasture is inapposite or inaccurate because its exemplar – unfettered access to common land – did not exist historically, the right to exploit common land being controlled by law.

The work of Elinor Ostrom, who received the Nobel Prize in Economics, is seen by some economists as having refuted Hardin's claims.[1] Hardin's views on over-population have been criticised as simplistic[2] and racist.[3]
@c0dec0dec0de i'm still waiting for @timnitGebru to get her flowers. too bad she's too future for the nobel, or the turing (although i'm sure turing himself would admire DAIR)
@c0dec0dec0de @timnitGebru tbh, i've been getting upset about how the ACM wields control over turing's memory through their arbitrary award designations. and computer science is far too vast of a field to have just one award anyway. if DAIR can become a university, who's to say we can't describe our own form of award, for visionaries who are too future for the status quo academic publication structure and incentive model. maybe we can call it the gebru award. just spitballing here
