Thoughts
Were bitcoins to be equally distributed amongst humans, at today's price, we'd all have about $140 worth. That could be world-changing. Sadly, it isn't evenly distributed.

I have said it before

I will say it again:
ecocredits are the symbolic quantification of right relationship between a community of humans and a place.
Every vegan/regen argument, every Monbiot/Savory variation on a theme, every Wizard/Prophet or tech/nature discussion boils down, fundamentally, to sharing v sparing.

I'm more and more convinced that it's a false dichotomy, and that there is real synthesis on the horizon.
