A very nice piece!  I do not personally have any belief in some Other who is above Me, but I know that all sentient, sapient Beings have foundational rights - whether They believe in some creator above Them or not.

No sentient, sapient Being is above anOther.  We are All equal in Consciousness.

Interesting and workable suggestions for the most part, but I do not see fame, love and admiration etc as a social currency. They are emotions and hold no real value as an actual contribution, and don't work well when measured as a means of participation. They are favourable Results or outcomes If genuinely achieved for sure, but that may, or may not, Naturally occur, so should not be automatically counted on or held in any high regard as a 'value' at all.  That's How I see it in my opinion.

All social currency is emotion-based and We do give love, earn fame, give admiration, and etc.  But We do plenty to receive these expressions.  Social currency is accounted for in Our hearts and minds.  We do not need to account for Our energy added with tokens.

I must be living in a different world as I find " feelings" are not in the equation when it comes to non-money interaction situations, as I have encountered recently. I've found it's a Contributing factor that's Required, yet not expected, outside of ones willingness or ability to offer it. e.g. I recently gave lodgings to some homeless people at no loss or gain to myself, but feelings of love or admiration voiced in any way other than "ta for the stay" did not eventuate. What happened was a week later 80 kg of "banned" coal turned up on my door step out of the wild blue yonder, so that was a Contribution, maybe also at no loss or gain to themselves either. (ps. This sort of interaction is all new to me as I'm a thousand miles away from home in a remote location where I know few people, and I'm attempting to "fit in" ) Appealing to their hearts and minds will get me nowhere.

I'm sure Your help was appreciated, whether expressed or not.  Social currency does not require verbal expression, and Self-satisfaction is a social currency as well.  What You seem to be lacking in Your grasp of what I propse is the awareness that it means no need to exchange to survive.  No money, in any form:  trade, barter, work exchange, shells, beads, sticks notched and split, coins (metals), bills, or electronic bits.

With robots to do necessary work no One WANTS to do, with free energy (so We don't have to account for Human energy), and focused on solving problems Ethically, We all can live as richly as We each might choose.  There will be no homeless.  There will be no hunger.  There will be no poverty.  There will be no lack.

And many have asked Me what would motivate Us - bringing up Wall-E (I think that's how it's spelt...) with the fat People doing nothing of much.  But We humans, overall, would not be like that at all.  We are motivated to help, in small ways and large.  We will travel, hike, camp, investigate, teach, learn, write, perform, research, and on and on.  Because We LOVE to.  And We will be motivated to solve for problems that affect Us.

So We will be motivated by Our love of doing things.  And We will be paid in reputation, thanks, appreciation, love, adoration, fame, respect, lauds, attention, bragging rights, Self-satisfaction...
