Staying Fed

Building communities is hard. An advantage of being conservative is that there is someone to tell you the way things are done. If you are making allowances for people moving between, in, out, and through... and bringing themselves with, and leaving their mark... the complexity spirals. 

Capital is a conspicuous form of privilege. We want to be able to see individuals rather than judging people based on prejudices and historical skills. This means we need new tools for coordination and consensus building beyond “looking after your own”. 

The capital needed to reduce the impact of financial waves if made by solving clearly articulated problems for decision-makers with money. That is done by developing the skills and knowledge to solve that kind of problem. 

You need containers for capital. Containers have barriers to entry and barriers to exit. You want to reduce those barriers with faith that you are creating a bigger container in which everyone can succeed. The four freedoms of movement of capital, goods, services, and labour create a flow that benefit all as problems are solved. 

We need to reduce the fear that prevents others from solving problems because we need to be the one to solve the problem to get paid. If you are secure in your underlying income, you can stop grabbing at problems to perpetuate them to keep yourself fed.
