I looked (albeit briefly) at VRENAR. I was struck by how similar it is, economically, to another idea I encountered here on Medium a good while back. I’ll see if I can come up with a link or something. They did make their approach sound almost mystical — and the group promoting it almost cultish — but the idea of using ‘value’, based on the judgement of the group, as an infinite font of economic rewards was amazingly similar to yours (assuming I understood that much correctly).

I like that my idea is as simple as it is (it has been called “simplistic”) and requires so little change, yet provides an absolutely, positively guaranteed solution to so many problems — all following from an ethic of justice that no human being can (rationally) deny applies to all human beings, including oneself. To be sure, like all systems involving human beings people could act corruptly within it, but the system itself is incorruptible because it is self-regulating.
