One of the strongest examples of a values-based community organizing and growing over the last few decades is Mormonism. It started with The Book of Mormon, which had a plethora of doctrines.

(I actually don’t think there are goods that are perfectly “public”. It’s all just degrees / size of “club”. And I think that’s another problem with the classical economics definition.)

I think so, but my guess is that they are exceedingly rare. Or at least it’s exceedingly rare for a public good to be of maximal value to society when not governed to some degree. Less rare for fully complete goods, but anything in progress or that could be improved requires governance.

Woah just switched from an AWS managed blockchain node to Chainstack. Significant quality of life improvement. 20% of the cost, better DX and same node performance. Maybe even a little faster.

>I argue this is wrong Not sure "wrong" is a useful frame here. Feels like you both just approach the idea from different perspectives. him: absolutes, structure, convex you: nuance, essence, concave IMHO both are needed. Former for the idea to captivate & spread. Latter for the idea to actually get implemented.

My hypothesis for the reason people over-index so much on the funding question is that it relates to “non-excludable”. There’s a huge class of funding methods that involve charging for use. And when you charge for use, you do a small amount of exclusion. But for many things, that’s better than not existing at all.

Yes! Last night I started sketching a new blog post with the hypothesis that we should define a public good as a good whose net value to a given public is maximized when governed by that public. Hoping to publish during / after holidays.
