- What inspired you to register here
-
I am inspired by the fact that humans have all over history managed to manage common affairs with respect to their natural environment and to themselves. And I am inspired by those people who have rediscovered this simple fact and truth: Those like Elinor Ostrom who have shown that everywhere on this planet there are people who still adhere to these traditions. And I believe that decent human survival will depend on learning from these people and on applying them creatively to current and coming problems ("peak everything" and climate change)
