Open Development

We'd love to talk more about Open Development, per our recent article on the topic.

What do you agree with? What do you disagree with? What else is needed to created a larger Open Development movement?

Common development needs a common purpose. Here are a few resources I like on how Cooperation Beats Competition; Pro-Sociality Beats Self-Interest. Pick a tragedy of the commons and rally support?

Contextually, Neoclassical economics claims that “greed is good”—by following one’s own self-interest, “all boats rise.” Unfortunately, we have evidence—from biology to anthropology to sociology to economics—that it simply isn’t true. Only through pro-social, cooperative behavior can we all thrive. It’s time to put these principles into practice as we collectively tackle the metacrisis.
