Yes... that is the problem isn't it? What to focus on... it takes time to break through to an understanding... some of it is quite wild. For instance, when buying a NFT, people are basically buying nothing: Rights to a string of numbers on a blockchain. There is no legal contract that states you have any actual rights to a work - reproductive rights or copyright... it is just a massive grey area... Faith-based.
I’m very ignorant about Art, so I must actively read and digest your latest fascinating article.
I read a LOT of content online and off.
It’s amazing to me how much 100% unique content you create!!!!
Although (for over four decades) a gigantic fan of the 1844 Marx of alienation and reification of material objects, I never read about “freedom from trade.”
Despite being a capitalist in 2021, I wish I could do more to co-create the dominant economic system of 2062.
Dominant is defined by me as 51%+ of total exchange of goods and services.
2062 is the year Gen Z first starts turning 65.
Within hours after my first Burn in 2015, I felt:
“I’ve experienced the dominant economic system of 2062 — The Gifting Economy!!!!”
I’m always on the lookout for ideas on drivers of the transformation from the horrors of Global Capitalism of 2021 to SOMETHING more socially just in 2062.
I think, but I’m not sure, the dominant economic system of 2062 will be some version of a Gifting Economy. I use the definition and exploration of this term within the last 100 pages of Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein. I hope this brilliant content will be THE seminal work driving the Gifting Transformation to 2062 and beyond.
New tech has distinct drivers of transformation. Think VCRs and porn!!!
Hypothesis:
Freedom from Trade through a Gifting Economy will be driven by the Exchange System of Art as the first cultural phenomenon crossing 51%.
Any readers:
Is this hypothesis falsifiable in 2022?
Can we co-create Iris transition over 51% any time as the Exponential Twenties unfold?
It’s up to the sort of demographic reading this sub stack.
We are the Change!!
BTW, I have absolutely no idea what this hypothesis could possibly mean….
Thanks Gordon! I don't know what else to do with myself, so I produce content. I wish it was more... some produce dozens of books or plays or screenplays... I feel like a sluggard in comparison to many.
Fascinating topic. Still trying to wrap my head around the process. I had a discussion last night with an outstanding museum-quality artist about forming a new guild of abstract painters on our island-home. I've forwarded this blog post to her and I'm sure we'll be having a future chat or two on the subject. Hard to keep up with all this newness.
This subject will take much of my concentration to understand.
Also, I can relate - my father was a brilliant, non-commercialized abstract artist too. Who was a teacher to support 5 kids.

Producing more is not so important IMO. Some exceptional writers have not published that many words, yet the words they did offer — changed the world.
Same with inventors who “only” created one product.
As long as it’s working financially, I advocate you keep doing what you’re doing!!!
Are you living in New York now?Please alert us if you present in person in the Bay.
