Re: New views on gift economy (was: Re: [ox-en] No more money trickery propaganda please)

Luckily a no-exchange-material-economy is possible even when people
are lying or in denial about the value of immaterial-exchanges.

Recently Obama was saying the world ought to train more engineers in
the depression to bring on the peace and prosperity of the
tech-enabled future.

My first reaction was that more engineers who don't value immaterial
exchanges will just make more problems.

There will be more problems, and more unhappy engineers, and
everything will be fine anyways.

There is only one network...one massively interconnected holographic Earth.

You can't stop the shining!
