np. That's one of the upsides I can see coming from this. I have long been trying to convince akkartik that we need to build whuffie, from Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It's basically a real life karma/sentiment system that largely replaces currency. I see Open Badges as a step in this direction. IMHO one of the downsides of Capitalism is that it uses material wealth as a proxy for social value, when it often maps quite poorly. If we are going to move to a #postwork society, we need currency that can better proxy other types of value.
