Another name for that "human value" you discuss would be "influence." I don't know of any system immune to that. Some proposals, like the one in China to have a "social currency" system (i.e. the government gives you money for promoting their ideals) seem more likely to promote the value of influence rather than decreasing it so I'm not even sure if there's an agreement over whether it's good or bad. Honestly, I suspect it depends on the positions of the person with it: that is, people will be unhappy when people they don't agree with have a lot of influence and happy when people they do agree with have a lot of influence.
- steinsgate 11y agoYes, influence is a closely related concept. However, I think of influence more as an effect of "human value" rather than being the value itself. An example : Mark Zuckerberg did not have significant influence before he started Facebook. But he had the value even before he started Facebook. This "value" I am talking of comprises of , among other things, peers, habits, worldview, drive, social understanding etc. of the person in question.
