Sustained Peer Production requires SOME reciprocation.

Of course you can give with reciprocation for a short period of time,
or in a limited number of your dealings, but if none of your peers
ever get around to 'giving' you some of the things you need to live
(such as food), then how will you avoid death?

If the answer is "we each must grow our own food", then I must ask
"must we each be our own dentist?".


I DO want our society to be a web of trusting relationships.

And I DO want people to have the ability and inclination to be giving.

But these are goals, not plans.

We need a legally binding plan to resist the typical growth pattern of
human groups lest our Germ be either be starved (underfunded) or
spoiled (turned Capitalist or State-Communist or some other
non-solution).


Sincerely,
Patrick
