The largest transfer of cognitive labor in human history.
For thirty years, millions of people built the digital commons: open source code, Wikipedia articles, forum answers, tutorials. They did this freely.
That commons is now the training data for artificial intelligence systems worth trillions of dollars.
The people who built the foundation received nothing. The companies who harvested it received everything.
This is not illegal. But it is incomplete.
No mechanism exists to distribute abundance.
We are told AI will create unprecedented wealth. But the current system has one obligation: maximize shareholder value. There is no line item for humanity.
Waiting for the powerful to share power has never worked.
We need a parallel system. One that recognizes contribution before the old system fails to.
Gratitude as Infrastructure.
Not sentiment. Not charity. A protocol — a way of recording who contributed what to the commons, so that when abundance arrives, there is already a ledger of merit.
Thanks is not bought. It is earned.
Thanks is not speculation. It is recognition.

We don't have all the answers. We have the questions.

We are not founding fathers. We are participants.

You've already contributed more than you know. The economy never counted it. We will.
