I get value out of clarifying my thoughts amongst people capable of refining them -- the membership fee is "something to say" and the reward is "something to read".

I'm quite capitalist myself, but for my own passions, an elite socialist -- that is, of course the value to me ought be non-financial; and likewise, to you.

A kind of "collective elite" is very intuitive for one's owns passions --- but it wont get you an economy.

But I dont wish to turn my thoughts into an economy. My words pay their own way.
