Random notes (to write up at some time, maybe):
- The civic needs a mechanism of value exchange
- Groups need trust , shared values, dispute resolution
- If you devoted your life to the civic, historically one might have relied on gift economy > now you’d be a homeless bum
- Volunteer coin
- How would a secular priesthood work?
