Whenever I say something that sounds scary if implemented from above, I’m talking about implementation from below.
Like there’s stuff I need to do that’s really hard for me to get done (E.G. scanning my tax documents, calling my doctor, cleaning my house) so if there was an app or something that rewarded me for doing these things it would be easier. So if there’s stuff we as a society needed to get done, we could make an app or game that makes it easier to motivate ourselves to do it.
That’s all I’m saying. Like if we need to get litter picked up, we create a thing that helps us get the “reward feeling” for picking up litter. I know I could use that for cleaning my living room literally right now. If a thing made a little fanfare noise when I put things away, it would be easier to do.
I’m talking about my own personal experience having a hard time doing certain tasks, and how we could in a post-capitalist society make it easier for people to do shit they need or want to do.
We could have another app for say… people that wanted to write a novel that rewarded you when you hit a word count you specified.
I’m talking about giving people tools to self motivate if they want them in a society where nothing is motivated by potential deprivation.
