This is the point where money becomes obsolete, and we worry about humanity's progress moreso than our individual standing as compared to each other.
How that would be structured is difficult to envision. It would honestly have to be some crazy point between communism and facism where a company like Google or Amazon basically runs all of our services, and everything we do would be "sponsored" by them in a way.
I'm writing a fiction novel called "The Morality Algorithm" that explores this type of concept, where your wealth is determined by your net benefit to society. Feel free to PM if you're interested!
