Good article. I think the concept of a commons will require us to radically rethink a millenium-long perception of ownership and power (of all kinds), arising since we developed agriculture. The 'big man in the middle/top' structure has no place in this network, instead a more egalitarian mode of thinking is required. Sadly that's not particularly compatible with our current modalities of thinking about the world and society. It likely will only come about once other models become unsustainable.
