knowledge as differentiator versus knowledge as bridge
and:
records as burden versus records as foundation

To me the heart of taxation is not their compulsory nature, but the fact that they are contributions to collective well-being. Their current coercive nature is, I hope, more a function of how poorly developed our social feedback mechanisms are. As those come up to speed I'm guessing that more and more of the functions that are “paid for” by taxes will be able to be “paid for” by contribution requests connected to the feedback mechanisms. I don't think that this new category should be called the same as gitfts, which by their nature seem to me to be about contributions given in the absence of strong feedback mechanisms, and given in the absence of requests.

This possibility is directly related to you row of “control vs. freedom.” In a multi-currency world with strong feedback, we can “afford” freedom, because there is enough information for people to become sovereign and act wisely.
