Hey @halfjew22, I just finished reading your article here and I applaud you on getting this big idea out on paper! Obviously the idea you are presenting here is massive and would require either a massive team or merging a few technologies together to function cohesively.

Either way, I do like the idea of incentivizing a community to improve itself. Giving more responsibility and positive reinforcement for providing value to a community sounds like a really great thing. Clearly, taking ownership of how information is utilized and distributed would be absolutely of great importance as well.

One of my major hangups with this idea is the concept of influencing behavior based off of the status quo of what good behavior is. This is where we start to hit the grey areas because one person's definition of good may be much different from another's.

For instance, a janitor could be very thorough, but very slow. Is this a good or bad thing? Well... it depends on the circumstance. And this issue with circumstance is that most things are circumstantial.

What's better: kindness or strength? Well, in a war, strength is WAY more beneficial. In a hospital, kindness.

Ultimately, I think that if you kept it more general and geared towards practically improving the aspects of community that are very obviously beneficial (such as recycling, donating, volunteering, etc), then you wouldn't have to deal with those grey areas that might not end in your favor.

Have you seen this black mirror episode? If not, you should watch it...

My recommendation would be to share your ideas in smaller portions so people actually take the time to read and understand. Oh and also, there's something missing between your intro and point #1. You need to frame what these points are addressing. It's unclear what you're really talking about. Maybe it gets lost in the introduction?

Overall, you're onto something my friend! Keep working at it.
