Cancelation is an interesting antithesis idea to fuck-you money. You could measure the strength of cancel culture by the increase in fuck-you-money thresholds. It’s probably an efficient market in public reputation or something. The $ premium of having to exit public life 🤔

Should solve this with market mechanisms. Everybody should be paid for stuff they do in a mix of cash and personal-future-reputation erc20 tokens.
Sub-criminal cancel culture is not new and is never going away. It’s just in a bubble. We just need to make it cancel economics.

R<C means more demand to cancel you than defend you. Bank charges you -ve interest. So you withdraw, buy gold, and fuck off. If cancel culture gets too strong there’s a run on banks. If virtue signaling gets too strong, banks adjust f(R-C) to be less rep sensitive,

By putting a price on both reputation and cancelation you turn the culture war into a nice little boom market in identity futures. You could add cap-and-trade features. It’s basically a carbon market.

This idea appears to be popular with both sides of the culture war going by likes

Maybe what democracy 2.0 needs is precisely such a graduated market-driven knob between tyranny of majority and assholery of individual. 🤔
Social credit score/whuffie but mob-driven.

Slight difference though. Idea markets replace cancel culture entirely by tying attentionworthiness to investment, which means the only way to “cancel” a thing is to invest in alternatives so superior that the “cancelled” naturally obsolesces.

I’m skeptical of idea markets. The base commodities are identities, not ideas.
