I am really keen to see where this thesis goes. :) I still remember my reaction to the Love Machine - it was a sort of eye-opening moment for me, inverting entrenched concepts of management, a glimpse at something more egalitarian, and with a fun brand to boot.

I get anxious about engineering solutions to social constructs, of course (as if you didn't know that by now), and my instinct here is to say something profound about money as a social rather than a system-built construct....but I actually think my view is an anachronism, and money became an engineered MVP a long time ago.

I've seen you tweeting around this subject a bit, and I'm really excited to hear where you've landed.

Waaay off the rails. Hilarious. Coming at these entrenched products/ systems (is money a thing or a system?) from the angle of a startup is eye-opening. Quick ?: Is some of this based on the research in "Debt" by Graeber?
