"Tragedy of the commons" is when everyone exploits a common resource in a rational way that depletes the common resource irrationally. The classic example is over-grazing of shared pasture. Really, "take care o'you" is the response. Make sure that what you're doing makes you happy, makes you fulfilled, and don't worry so much about "society." Dark Ages Europe had a "society" after all and it really only benefitted the landed gentry.
