Looking at the "Latest" "Feed" today I'm having a thought regarding "proof of work". In my version of capitalism, we do not care who/what "works the hardest", or "does the most work". We care about who/what provides the most value, or the best value. I'm wondering if a change in dialog, words, or the way we think about things is needed here.
