-It's laughable how many people participate in online forums pushing the line that people will only work if there is a material pay off involved. And yet they labor away for hours a day, without pay, arguing the point. Why? Because it turns them outwards, towards the commons, doing something they love, which is arguing against the concept of the commons. It's ironic.

There has to be a better way to live and your examples of how life could possibly be, may provide a template. Thank you.

Another masterful thought-piece. I now know the origin of the words: "Indian giver." Thanks.

I am not going to pretend it is because I am high brow because I am not it, is more because I have young children and have gaping holes in my pop culture knowledge but I had not seen either of those cringe videos. Truly horrific, I am delighted.
