Proposal: Proof of Human Work (PoHW) blockchains
Instead of PoW or PoS, in PoHW miners are human beings racing each other to solve captchas
The first human to solve a captcha can put a bunch of transactions into a new block and get the block reward

Difficulty - the number of captchas you have to solve to create a new block - scales with the number of humans trying, such that the average block time stays approximately constant

In a dystopian future, we are stuck in a prisoner's dilemma where instead of just burning electricity, 99% of humanity is employed solving captchas to mine CaptchaCoin. The human race is totally enslaved to a decentralized blockchain god
