RE: Can Steemit attention-economy be a "non-competitive" society?
This is an excellent read @charlie777pt. I hope I will have a chance to post something to this topic soon. In the meantime, just have to say that blockchain (or as you say “Steemit attention-economy”) doesn't need to create a "non-competitive" society, but a society of helthy competition, which is not possible inside the hierarchical-capitalist matrix. Capitalism can only produce violence on the fundament of unhealthy competition:
In liberal capitalism, the prevailing violence was based on the principle bellum omnium contra omnes. In monopolistic capitalism, the prevailing violence is based on the principle “Destroy the competition!”.

Thanks for your the boom in my self-esteem.:)
Like you steemit is not a non-competitive society, but it can be the cradle of an experience on the blockchain, that can pave the way for the future of a healthier competition, with a flatter pyramid distribution in the world of objects and support the ones that didn't bring monetary value in, but make value on Steemit with their reputation(participation).
Now everybody can join hands in small freedom cells, to drive steemit in the best way for everybody because attention and participation are the pillars of equalitarianism.
