Why doesn't the dad give his daughter points when he's proud of her? When society has a bunch of different points systems like that, social points from each individual ought to be one kind of points system. It could help make trust networks, too.
- Tichy 17y agoI don't think you can substitute love with points. Though given how many relationships break up over World of Warcraft, maybe points are better than love. (I don't know how many relationships break up over WoW, but I could imagine it's a few).
- thefool 17y agoOr can you? Are some things necessarily unquantifiable? Or is it just that people haven't found the right metrics yet?
- calcnerd256 17y agoDon't think of it as substitution. Think of it as telling the computer (and thus the world). It also provides a log, so the next time you're happy or mad at them, the computer can remind you of a good thing they did.
