Final thought: the mass of the earth and the energy flux from the Sun is essentially constant for the purposes of an individual human. As such the only things that changes is how things are arranged. If you believe that no individual has more right to the earth, the resource from which they are made, then the world is commons. As such, no one has more 'rights' from divine, or state origins, nor from personal effort. Perhaps the ultimate resource for humans which requires management is then human time and energy and time.
Discussion:
- Quickly turned to Wurzen.
- General agreement that the building itself is a common resource. Debate about items.
- General agreement that a ruler undesirable.
- One idea that some items are private and most are common.
- Another idea that some all items are a common resource but have much higher use-value for certain individuals than others.
- Concept of resource management has significant implications for resolving conflicts.
- Matthias and Frank keen to utilize technology to capture as much data and info a possible.
- Rosina considered any idea of property, whether individual or common, to be nonsensical and that the most important thing is to make sure individuals have the skills to deal with conflicts when the arrive.
- Doug keen on 'designing use into space'. I.e. small cupboards with name tags for high-use items so that others can see who the items valuable to and can talk with them about using them. Also 'clean-table policy' with cupboards for storage, etc.
