hey WorldClassPlayer!

Thanks for taking a moment to share your thoughts...I feel like Reciprocal Economics is definitely a thing :P Regardless of what textbooks it may or may not be written in!

I studied Anthropology in school for two years before I quit, and in that discipline they are very focused on Gift Exchange of pre-industrial societies. There is a heap-ton of evidence that for 99% of human history the majority of our 'economy' ran off of various forms of Gifts.

I really do regard steemit as a small town feel yet world wide thing.

Totally!!!! That's a great way to put it. It feels that way to me to!

Savor every moment with your Girlfriend :)

Thanks for the reminder...Our cat just got ran over by a car this week, I felt really shocked out of my normal rhythms, and I'm taking the opportunity to reframe some things. I want to appreciate our time together. Or as Modest Mouse says it...You just never ever know.
