About
My current work is to establish a website that facilitates a global gift economy. Goods and services will be given freely with precise but informal accounting and feedback. Social networking features much like wiserearth's will be included into the overall system. The ultimate goal is to establish and continually encourage a concrete sense of one human family through acts of giving. Lost levels of community intimacy and interpersonal compassion will result. This complementary economy will directly compensate for the alienating effect of the global marketplace and thus reestablish love and community as globally expressed virtues on par with those that run the marketplace.
