My first reaction was oh great a society based on arrogance, then I remembered the point systems that psychologists of the 60's and 70's loved so much. So there would some possibly easily corruptible or fooled organization keeping track of the points based on their opinion of one's ideas or work? The same greedy people would vie for high rankings and status like the office suck ups we have now. Money has the advantage that it is real and not usually awarded because of wishful thinking. There would still be haves and have nots; everyone would have stuff but the have nots suffer from lack of motivation, not really needing anything. Worse they would have to listen to the haves.
I have loved Science Fiction since seeing Forbidden Planet as a child and Star Trek even more but it was mostly written for children or the child in us. They left out a lot of human nature especially the darker parts. While a few things will come true It's just fiction.

Bad karma and proud of it.
