scope of this brief - it's worth noting that public, verifiable and auditable flows of value are
exactly what we need to engender more empathy.

We can ascertain that our money gets put to the proper use, incentivising us to give more. We can encode economic ideals which encourage competition to be more kind, rather than to win at all costs. We can make visible the best parts of our humanity, rather than hiding the economics so as to race to the bottom of our brain stems.

We can make visible the best parts of our humanity, rather than hiding the economics so as to race to the bottom of our brain stems. In short, we can engage in what Havel so poetically calls [the art of the impossible](https://andreass.gitlab.io/ImpossibleThought.html).

> "It is a challenge to this civilization to start understanding itself as a multi­cultural and a
multi­polar civilization, whose meaning lies not in undermining the individuality of different
spheres of culture and civilization but in allowing them to be more completely themselves."

This is the whole secret, really. Personal freedom of expression - where [money **is** speech](/learn/module-2/money-speech) - tied into a conscious, encoded set of constraints which incentivize [optimal collective resource allocation](/learn/module-4/liberal-radical/#capitalizing) can enable individuals to build sustainable, valuable communities.

The authors also note that **tools for thought are public goods**. Thus, they suffer from the same issues around funding as open source software does. The challenge is not only financial: it speaks to the heart of what we value as a culture, and so building the right kind of practices and processes is primarily a cultural endeavour, rather than one in which we spend endless hours writing grant applications. Why devote yourself to an open-ended endeavour like this which isn't as well-funded as many other sectors in tech? Well:

No-one in our neighbourhood of the decentralized web has done more thinking about memory than Kei Kreutler. We'll end this piece with a presentation by her in which she shows how relationships are necessarily the ground of any practical, resilient, and memorable commons. The point that ties it all together is the focus on relationality: the sort of emotional affect that gets people to _really care_ about what and how they learn is **most readily found in one another**. We can come up with any number of new media which advance our ability to remember what we learn along any number of dimensions. Our contention - which is also Kei's point - is that the most effective (and affective) will always be those that connect us to others immediately.

Even this point about relationality is nuanced though, as Kei describes well when examining how public 'public' tools for thought need to be. Collected here are some of critical insights from her presentation for further reflection:
