Is there a way to reward and incentivize improving human well being? Perhaps a society where all income comes from the government in proportion to how much one

Is there a way to reward and incentivize improving human well being?
Perhaps a society where all income comes from the government in proportion to how much one improves the overall well being of society?
(Yes, it's difficult to measure this objectively, and even harder to agree on what the priorities for societal well being are)

- kortilla 1y agoIt’s not difficult, it’s impossible under freedom of religion and just independent thought generally. One person’s “well being” might be measured by how many wives and children you have. Another’s might be education level and physical fitness. Another’s could be financial independence. These all clash with each other in fundamentally incompatible ways.
