I feel the fear of association to person-to-person humanitarian aid[1] is why we need to use community moderated, distributed, and anonymous tools[2] to monetize empathy.

We need to fund research, expression, and development without simply monetizing and recreating social contract barriers to entry as social media barriers.

To solve the pervasive language of hidden trauma[3] problems — so empathy is empowered over identity issues — we need less closed forms and more open fields. Taboo of sharing itself, is deeper than the digital divide.

Meta: I understood this, but dang, this comment was thick with obfuscation. Somebody told me once that many times you can tell the contentiousness of an issue by noting the impenetrability of the verbiage used to converse about it.
Cryptology and psychology are related.

Equally cryptogrammar and cryptoempathy.
