I just want to say this is the best question I’ve seen asked online in a while.
I’m sorry this comment doesn’t have anything much to add other than:
Wow this question is amazing, and I wish more people would ask it, and I’m better for having read it. So thank you for asking it.
Some directions I would go with this question myself:
How does shared cultural narrative affect human behavior, and is it more reliable than money?
Can money buy commitment? Personal development? Deep confusion and questioning about one’s ethical choices?
What’s the connection between money and relationship-building? (Especially with regards to fundraising.)
Can money buy coordination? How much coordination would it be able to buy? How reliable would it be?
What is a thing that is NOT money that can result in coordination, better shared narratives, personal development, a commitment to ethics, etc.?
