Talk:Semipostal stamp for email

Amusingly (pretended) lack of collective intelligence and foresight leads to a beneficial effect here: Acting collectively intelligent people would easily avoid paying postage but under the pretense of not being able to avoid paying postage senders might choose to get back at the recipients by also demanding postage. Collectively intelligent people would choose to pretent to lack collective intelligence and foresight in order to gain the beneficial effects: One beneficial effect here, whose causation could be seen as a moral obligation, is that people who were actually not particularly interested in donating money for charitable purposes might sneakily be corrupted to take an interest because they would suddenly have a budget for it that had no other conceivable use. People might flip through a catalog like goodgifts.org simply because there was a budget to be spend and they liked shopping or due to force of habit. --Fasten 05:09, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
