Deep dives
The Token Economy and Work Value
The discussion introduces the concept of a token economy, highlighting how individuals may become obsessed with maximizing their productivity measured by tokens. The notion suggests that each task completed consumes tokens and implies that more tokens spent equate to heightened achievement. This leads to speculation on whether future labor will involve tokenizing personal efforts, consequently changing how work is valued and compensated. The metaphor of a 'loot box' is drawn, emphasizing the randomness of outcomes despite the tokens invested, prompting a critical reflection on the true cost of productivity.
