These are videos from a lecture series in Winter 2005, Towards a Literacy of Cooperation, hosted by Howard Rheingold, The Institute for the Future, and Stanford Humanities Lab. In this lecture series we are trying to build a practical map of cooperative strategy, starting with the basic social dilemma that has forever defined the tension between self-interest and social institutions. Social dilemmas arise when you or I act rationally... in our own self-interest...but our individual rational acts add up to a situation in which everyone is worse off. That is, our choices add up to less, not more. The speakers in this series explore, from a variety of disciplines, cases when we overcome a social dilemma.
