Tragedy of the Commons and associated consequences

http://www.sciencemag.org/sciext/sotp/commons.dtl

For those predisposed to psychological treatment by hip-hype gnostics, consider this suggestive scenario...

The hypnotist says to the patient, "Imagine you are in a room. There are no lights, no windows and no doors or any ways in or out."

The patient obediently accepts the suggestion, settling into an imaginary repose of sensual handicap with a slight apprehension of entrapment.

The hypnotist then asks the parient, "How did you get in?"

What would be your response, if you were the patient?
