Something very special is happening. I am honored and privileged to play a role in the creation of the World’s first Human Values Economy. But perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. Really what has been created is a tool that will allow the first Human Values Economy to manifest. There is only one thing missing? … That missing ingredient is YOU! Please join us in the adventure of a lifetime. With your help we can shape the future in the most positive of ways. …
From the press release: First there was the Internet, connecting people everywhere. Then came eBay, creating millions of entrepreneurs. Next, Amazon, cut out the middleman. And more recently, the Google phenomenon, organizing the world’s information. And now, there is GiveGet Nation, whose founders say, “organizes the world’s unlimited surplus product, labor, intelligence and spiritual capital and makes it available to everybody for free. Think of us as the National Human Values Trust.” GiveGet Nation is an innovative, Internet-based, non-profit social enterprise “designed to improve the quality of life for everyone, set the world free from scarcity and save the Earth through synergy,” say founders Timothy Wilken, MD and William Shanley. “GiveGet Nation is the world’s first post-scarcity, person-to-person human values bank and economy,” according to Mr. Shanley, a media producer, living in New Haven, Connecticut. “Ours is a virtual new world and economic order that engages both quantitative and qualitative dimensions of existence, just like Mother Nature. Giving and getting are really two sides of the same coin—the on-going, universal process of free exchange called life. Our new culture of free exchange is based on values and principles that can’t be quantified, privatized or traded on Wall Street. We’re beyond money; and yet we’re all over it. In GiveGet Nation, everyone can finally participate fully in life because gifts and wishes are our capital for creation.” In GiveGet Nation, people can Give, Get, Share: Goods, Actions, Knowing and Spirit in an infinite number of choices and combinations. Share a babysitter or lawnmower. Volunteer for Katrina. Provide expertise. Find help for anything. Express and self-create. Adopt a family internationally. Mentor a young entrepreneur. Gift or wish for goods whose value is beyond money, like those special items you’ve been storing, don’t want to sell, and would prefer to gift to someone who values them the way you do. “Learn to live more freely. The only limit is your own imagination.”
