I like this idea as I was thinking that some other attribute needed to be created. I was thinking that karma would be it as the most powerful thing one can do in this system is give support (intellectual, empathic, encouragement) which leads to solid bonds. We are still motivated by basic urges and those are things that are mostly absent from a mechanized world. We already have our machine interactions in a high level, what were missing is the element of being valued and acknowledged....these are side-effects of self-love which is in short supply. When I use the word "love" I'm not talking about romantic love. This kind is what enables babies to exist and survive. It's the stuff that has the ability to change the course of humanity because it spread virally.
Most people exist on a spectrum of unmet needs.
Most don't have the basics: clean water, money, security. Fewer have meaningful work. Fewer still are being valued for their unique gifts. Fewer still are loved by supportive and encouraging lovers, spouses, etc.
Being trapped in one of those stages causes people to act in selfish ways. The bucket inside is empty and needs filling.
Rich people who have basic needs met and who have an abundance of resources could also be of two kinds: one is fearful and clings desperately to the wealth, always obsessed with making more, or can be a second one whose wealth is a by-product of some kind of effort/skill/talent/luck/drive/connections. The second kind is not attached to the wealth.
I like your idea and think it's worth looking into. The only thing I think people will not like is the fact that some wisdom is lost. I don't think people like that concept.
