  This is also why automation does not endanger jobs in general -- even after having automated every existing job multiple times over, it remains that the only thing you can do with money is employ people.

  Do we really know what are we saving time for? Shouldn’t “meaning” be our currency instead? Yes, Meaning is difficult to measure, but it’s probably the “resource” that most people care about, not raw time.

  This reminds me of that 2011 movie, In Time. The plot revolves around time as universal currency. The rich have unlimited time at their disposal, and a typical laborer working their ass off just to live another day.

  That’s a depressing way to view value. Does art appreciate in the same way?

  When it comes to social media the value of technology can be measured in human time wasted.

  I've always considered money as more of a symbol of trust.

  Whose time? Are bad movies bad? When a popular service has a minor problem is a like mosquitos biting everyone simultaneously. Nobody who owns the equity gets hurt. This is a huge problem. Scaling humans this much without SITG has big downsides.
