HIGHER

Love the idea of the permapool.

What if fees only funded *people*, not projects.

Like Protocol Guild but for Higher. A community-governed UBI for those doing Higher-aligned work. 

The community/a committee decides on a case-by-case basis who should be a part of the guild and receive the stream of income.

If you're no longer doing Higher-aligned work for X period of time, you're removed from the stream. You can be added back if you start again.

Maybe it starts with 5 folks, and we add 1 new person to the stream every month?

Just riffing here, but I like the idea of funding people instead of projects. We need to fund leaders who dedicate time and energy to Higher in many different ways.

This is an inspirational idea that touches on a valid point. Yes, computer projects are complicated and require teams. But, there are some contributions that can only be made by individual consistent thought. I think there should be a way to reward that like you said.

The devil is in the details. Governance will be the most difficult piece. I don’t think a committee should decide this, but rather readers or people who engage with the content.
