The second article in the OP advocates a meritocracy with badges as a reward system:quote:Executors are the "working class" of the traditional caste system, but in a world run by software every worker is guaranteed recognition for the work they do. This will take the form of gamification techniques where people earn "badges" that represent the many dimensions of their skills and mastery. This system of rewards not only motivates work and encourages a competitive atmosphere, but also serves to more efficiently connect requested work with the people in the best position to handle the job. It also frees the executor from any institutional obligations, so they might follow the vocation of their choosing. I would love a system that rewards a garbageman with an achievement pop-up through his Google Glasses as he picked up his first 10 thrash bags. Good job, plep, you'll have enough badges to advance in rank in no time. The rest of the article is filled with bad IT metaphors and oversimplifications about society, industry, technology, self-organizing systems, and human beings most of all. Perhaps the author of this article should flesh it out all his ideas and expand it with how to transition to this system and what will happen to those on the bottom of this system.
