#nonquant — Public Fediverse posts

But, while I am always happy to see favorite writer dress down the usual suspects, I see my role being to represent the #nonquant potential where numbers games are abandoned for just doing something for someone when you know it's good, and knowing that your investment of your time and effort in your community will pay you back, just not in quantified fiat.

Well, what I'm hoping it could get us, and *you*, because I know you do this kind of work, is compensation.
Monetary compensation? Just because #nonquant is explicitly not a way to fix any monetary system does not necessarily mean you can't get monetary compensation, because you can look at money as just another valuable thing.
But anyway, *how* can a nonquant lens on economics help someone find compensation for their work?

Furthermore, if you just decide not to take payment for your work, in #nonquant #econ, you can just call that investment.

That's actually what you're doing when you volunteer anyway, isn't it?

With #nonquant, I'm not talking about everyone quitting your jobs and installing my software and suddenly utopia.

#nonquant is a way to look at what people are doing every day and why, and how the world works, without talking about money as though it's more than what it is: overhead.

So there is one big plus side of #nonquant #econ. Work that is invisible to classical economics (domestic work, for starters) becomes first class economic activity.

Next, I can say that in a nonquantified economy, potentiation of value can be recognized as investment.
Boom. Education, infrastructure, and preventive health — WHOLE SECTORS crudely shoehorned into the quantified economy — get promoted to their rightful top priority.

The #nonquant question is, why are they choosing to engage in this transaction with each other? What do they value?

Maybe Alex values their business somehow, possibly having happy customers and being productive.

Blake probably values the service and also chose the business for a number of reasons.

But if you break it down to what they value, and if you don't need to talk about monetary transactions *only*, you can start crediting work that is not transactional.

But a #nonquant perspective focuses on the choice and the value, not the classical "transaction" of currency for a product or service. In a two-party transaction, each make a choice. Alex chooses to serve Blake, and Blake chooses to pay Alex, and they choose to do it at the same time so they don't have to track debt.

A common saying in #economics is, money is what you give; value is what you get.
Does money have value in #nonquant #econ?
Well yeah, if it is relevant to the subjective situation where people are making choices about what is most valuable for them to do at any time (AKA just "choices"), and it is everywhere today, so absolutely.

Why is #nonquant important?
Avoiding the attempt to draw equivalences in value, and acknowledging the subjective value of a choice, reframes #economics to focus on what actually matters to real people, and rejects quantified models (classical economics) that gloss over real value to real people, as if using numbers of currency as a proxy actually approximates value.

I am not researching contemporary thought in #nonquant #econ. But I have gone over the fundamentals quite a lot, and I know that the tech to enable this kind of global economy would be quite simple. I'll do my best to describe it, but first, the basics:

It's probably time for me to do a thread about interdependence and nonquantified economics again. Not sure I have the spoons, but I'll start with one and see how long before I'm interrupted. #nonquant

My fantasy is to have enough money I could launch a quit capitalism collective. We'd just work on dogfooding alternative systems full-time. Launch non-quantified value currency and business models, transparent and regenerative supply chain systems, community reinvestment and antifragile feedback loops…
