 Though there will inevitably be a hint of Darwinism and natural selection to whichever ideas survive, that we should guess, is the point. Whittling it down till we find the tools that work for us and in meeting our needs, and leaving behind those that don't work or lack effectiveness in achieving a fairer economy and a better society.

-Answer: Saying this would be a massive insult to all the people who volunteer everyday, whether it be working in charities, foodbanks, or working in open source development of computer software, often doing so without payment or thought of monetary reward. These people do these things because they know of the good that it creates in society as a result of doing so. Whether it be in knowing a group of people you’ve served at a foodbank isn’t going to go hungry that week, or a bug you just fixed has solved someone’s niggling problem in computer software they’ve been using for quite awhile.

-These micro-OAE’s happen all the time everyday. But because they happen most often discreetly and in pockets in an intuitive, informal, or casual manner, we often tend to forget and pass up that these kinds of benevolent acts happen which leads to bias towards ones own concept of what they think an open access economy is or what it achieves.

-Where we do agree is that more formal transactions will help us to understand where resources are going. Or at least a record of a gift-share or sharing activity in the form of a receipt. And we do wish more economic proposals would record their transactions so we can understand progress made in a more transparent manner.

 Answer: Yes agreed, who would agree to that in their right mind? Most would be understandably upset by such a prospect and fear of the consequences. If you were an electrical engineer or running an energy company, would you let just anybody into your electricity cabinets or handle their maintenance?
-It is important to understand that the open access economy doesn’t want to take something away from you that’s already yours. You start where you are including from what you already own in title. And the decision to make something of yours open access to another, whether that be land, or another resource, will still be yours alone as its operating steward. But you are the one who is responsible for that resource including the outcomes who are how you let others use it. Keep that in mind.

+==== Criticism/Question: Why do you still have people owning and running things as stewards? Aren't leaders a bad idea? Look what they're doing already with societal and resource mismanagement. Enough with leaders already! My boss already annoys me enough at work ====
+The important thing to understand is that we always need people to look after and take care of things. Some misconceive that the robots will do that and all the menial work, but until we are confident of their safety and robustness we will still need people watching over the resource management.
+And then there is property. Beyond the methods of production, property is a touchy word to some surrounding new economics. If i own 10 houses, that's 9 less for you and other people. But not everyone wants to look after that many houses. Not all want the responsibility. Some do.
+We imagine those that do will have an interest and possibly a skillset in doing so. From housing people, to making sure they have business or workspaces.
+If you put people in charge of things, they tend to take care of things. But if you put more than one person in charge of the same thing as in a shared title, taking care of that thing can become diluted and mismanaged as others can start to no longer bother with putting in as much effort as those that do care in looking after it. Thus why single-owner property ownership may have a bigger future as more realise this for better accountability.
