Great post Ellen. My only concern is crypto/block chain could be a way to obscure large financial movements that the oligarchy might use to maintain their dominance and prevent competition and rational action toward discovering new sources of energy and ways of preserving the planetary ecology. The libertarian obsession with privacy and their fetishized concept of TOTAL market freedom, read the chaos of no actually enforceable barriers needs to be guarded against. Indeed preventing that is a small d democratic necessity.

We need a Wisdomics-Gracenomics because wisdom always has ethical content because ethics are the rational consideration of mere/gross moralisms like TOTALLY “free” market theoretics. Grace/graciousness as in monetary gifting with a UHBI…and a 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale and also the retail point of finance strategically democratizes the necessity of monetary gifting that AI will create because everyone must and does participate in retail sale.
