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.

Agree! Funding projects as an idea has been exhausted for so long. We've never really tried funding people. Also makes sense for current times where projects may need to be ephemeral/dynamic/fluid and in general less well-defined. Even more, just defining a project in a way that's rigorous enough to get funded can be an annoying overhead and slows down creators/builders.
