An issue that I think is foundational is that these things are dynamic. Even w/ a sophisticated mechanism to attribute the wealth from living closely to a bunch of friends who care about you and who you care about -- which is economically illegible but practically about the most important thing there is -- there's still the issue of adaptation, wherein the felt value of this source of wealth dissipates over time. You don't feel it nearly as much when you've had it for a year, vs when you've been starved for it. No seasoning like hunger, etc.

To my mind, this is reason for both optimism and pessimism. Optimism bc most of what ails anyone (or any modestly functioning civilization) is amenable to treatment for zero dollars; pessimism bc the prospect of people introducing these cycles into their lives is negligible.

Put another way, it doesn't matter how "wealthy" we get by the usual way of reckoning such things, nobody will feel better about it, and btc doesn't fix this.
