    Just imagine the scale of the black market and corruption such a system would bring. It would be truly staggering.

    Curiously, there is no mention whatsoever of how law enforcement would work in this brave new world. Neither is there any provision for what to do with people who'd like to opt out of this utopia. Why would they do that? Because they believe they are better than average and can do better than what this system will give them. Newsflash: most everyone thinks they are better than average, if even a little.

    Lastly, if Zuck and Bezos get a single share in this alternative universe - same as any employee - what's the rationale for being a founder?
