Resources in the Terran Confederation

In 11,000 Years, there’s a number of mentions of resources. I’m using that in place of “credits” or “money” in general.

Now, everyone (except those who refuse it) gets BMI (Basic Minimum Income). It’s apportions: x for housing, y for food, z for clothing, etc, and zz – whatever you want, and that is *not* monitored. Note you can go for lower-cost housing, and save for more expensive housing.

But here’s another twist: “resource” can be created by fiat. Let’s say you go to an art show, or a craft fair, and see something you really like. You can show you like it, and, if you want, you can vote that you like it (we’re talking something like an app, whatever, it’s over 100 years from now). If you like it that much, you can donate some of your zz resource to that artist.

Now, there’s an AI that tracks this, and weights peoples’ votes (valuing someone who LOVES EVERYTHING all the time lower than someone who picks and chooses) and if enough people rate the piece highly enough, and have donated, that artist is given some additional amount of zz resources.

So value created is value to society. Feel free to explain to me how this is less meaningful than, say, cryptocurrency creation.

Tell me why it won’t work, or how to improve it.
