CT is not UBI (Universal Basic Income), though the many studies of UBI validate CT as income to support each unique individual doing what he/she is most qualified and motivated to do. To match unique individuals with their own self-defined work opportunities, or to work opportunities offered by others that match their profile, requires a collaborative intelligence (human + AI) SaaS platform to match people proposing jobs with people who can perform those jobs. CT can demonstrate the power of the future internet + A.I. to manage the greatest challenges that life on Earth now faces. 

This SaaS platform must be able to

• distinguish contribution from extraction,
• rate/ reward contribution and assess/ tax extraction in proportion to the benefits or costs,
• harness the collaborative intelligence of the crowd to assess benefits and costs, thereby determining CT (tokens) to each unique Contributor and ET (taxes/ penalties) to each unique Extractor,
• kickstart an online market to reward work that contributes public benefits and tax work that exacerbates the Tragedy of the Commons.

Saving civilization and life on Earth includes providing funding to academics, actors, dancers, engineers-inventors, filmmakers, innovators, journalists, musicians, scientists, writers, visual artists, as well as to small, organic farmers, those working on our climate and water crises, soil regeneration, preserving biodiversity, those developing “serious games” and learning resources, and many more.
