This New York Times article tells a lovely story. The tiny act of kindness described in the story warms the heart. In Copiosis the favor Layla does for the writer – yes, even this small – merits Layla Net Benefit Rewards (NBR).
When I read such stories I get excited thinking about how much better off we will be in Copiosis. Imagine anything you do that makes another person better off – feeling better, living better, healthier, less stressed, anything – any action you take for another will merit NBR.
Might that motivate you to be more helpful to others? Might that motivate others to be more helpful to you? Could money reimagined become a massive tool for making the world a better place? Copiosis makes it so.
Someone might criticize this and say, “Well people shouldn’t have to be paid to do nice things for people.”
While that may be true, I say “so what if they are?” NBR acts only as a reward in Copiosis. It serves no other purpose. It comes from no one’s pocket.
So why not maximize those rewards by rewarding anyone’s acts of kindness, no matter how small, especially if the supply of NBR is so abundant and the spending of said NBR doesn’t make it less available to reward other things?
Check out the story. You’ll find your heart feels better. Now imagine our entire nation filled with such acts.
