The more people who value your contribution, the more XP you get. The more XP people get for contributing, the more people contribute. The more people contribute, the faster technology, society, and everything else evolves. WIN.

Yes, but money is only printed by the government. XP can be created by anyone – I could give you XP for commenting on this blog. We would get paid for contributions of any kind, as long as *someone* values them – not just the government.

Hm, still sounds just like money . . . especially the infinite supply part. Infinite supply of money or points just means a mix of inflation and/or growth of the system (money is easily printed, points are easily generated). Ultimately, I think money does enable people to do what they are good at / passionate about — when they realize that it is merely a points system in the game.

I wonder. It would be an entirely different kind of currency – infinite supply, yet consistently hard to acquire. It wouldn’t be immune to inflation or prevent corruption, but it would certainly be more efficient than our current system, and give people more freedom to do what they’re good at or passionate about, which would benefit all of us.

Money by any other name is still money . . . a representation of agreed value for goods / services. What is interesting is we will increasingly directly share in the value we help generate and hopefully have control over how to use it. My current venture (http://Rec.fm) is an example of that where you can trade “points” earned for real money paid to a charity of your choosing. What if Zynga sent food to Africa for the ad dollars you generate? Now, that would be interesting.

cool post. I don’t know if I’m ready to give up on email so easily. Part of the problem with email is that all current software treats it as a flat list. Maybe by seeing it differently, we can think of different ways to organize and prioritize? Some of the live visualizations of the Digg.com website are instructive…
