Thank you for your wise writing and practice of Grassroots Economics, Will! I'm sorry we didn't get to meet in person before we departed Kenya for Chile in 2022.
Beautifully written Will. Such an apt description of the unseen world of what is behind our screen and our next chatbot interaction that doesn't have the natural limit guardrails that are there in the flesh and blood life we live.
Who was asked? What was the limit? Who watched afterward? What was returned?
These questions tell a different story to the one we have been led to believe is Life - the one that hides answers only to disguise questions - great read - thank you of course it resonated deeply with all i know of living systems
Very poetic and thought provoking. I can interpret themes about reciprocity, the distribution of resources, ecologically sound relations between earth's inhabitants including now intelligent machines, questions of debt (versus?) commitment; and there is probably much more that I missed with the first read. Thank you for sharing.
Another story, yes. The giving has its own behavior, limits, wounds, and obligations too. I’m looking forward to your version of the story. I hope you are surrounded by the good you have sown.

When tuned to Life, people recognize natural limits and work with them to share in the perpetual cycles of giving.
All fits together, or it all falls apart. But it's not really a mystery, the gift must move, as so well said by Lewis Hyde, and many others.
Tom Greco was always particularly clear on this, opened the space.

"The question is not whether receiving can be escaped. The question is how the receiving behaves."
and how the giving.
Another story, yes. The giving has its own behavior, limits, wounds, and obligations too. I’m looking forward to your version of the story. I hope you are surrounded by the good you have sown.
Beautiful
