> So a crucial question is: to what extent is it possible to move our prestige equilibrium to a different and more useful one? Where say it might be prestigious to actually do something useful for the world. Seems a worthy topic of study.
- soniman 6y agoThat's what money is for. You want to do something useful? Somebody will pay you. It's like he's saying "We need a system that allocates prestige to people who do useful things" and we literally have that, it's called a market.
- yhoiseth 6y agoThe idea here is that the market values things that are not so useful. Maybe there is some way to make the market value useful things more?
