How do we self organize?

WARNING: The following video requires an attention span. For those suffering from tiktok brain, please just watch the video from 1:20 to 6:20 (5 minutes).

I cut off the video at the point that my presentation became a group discussion, though I don't think I did a good job of addressing the question at the end. Josh makes the point that barter systems eventually devolve into money, which may be true. However, the point of the type of system I describe isn't just about what money can do: it's about building algorithms to inform how to optimally distribute the resources you control to build infrastructure (and community) you value. While the "credit" in a "bottom-up social credit" may devolve into a normal currencies, the main goal is the "bottom-up" and "social" aspects. Plus, if we end up with a "money" that doesn't require blockchain or governments, that is still a step up.
