KarmaDotCom

Is it possible to create an ap that could be hooked into a new cryptocurrency (that we’ll call KarmaDotCom but could just as easily work with Doge or something else) that calculates transactions that are based on interpersonal relations, virtues, and spiritual merit for their worth? The calculations could be made based on muscle testing (kinesiology) for each merit, and virtue displayed during the time “worked” for each person involved.
Creating an app for a cryptocurrency called KarmaDotCom that bases transactions on interpersonal relations, virtues, and spiritual merit is theoretically possible, though it presents several unique challenges and considerations:
  1. Conceptual Framework:
    • Interpersonal Relations and Virtues: Determining how to quantify virtues such as kindness, honesty, usefulness or empathy in a measurable way for transaction worth would require a robust and agreed-upon ethical framework. This could involve community consensus on what constitutes merit or virtue in transactions.
    • Spiritual Merit: Integrating spiritual merit into a cryptocurrency model would be complex since spiritual values can be highly subjective and culturally variable. (I argue that spiritual values are universal, they are just taught differently and by different teachers from each culture) The app would need a method to universally or contextually evaluate spiritual actions.
  2. Muscle Testing (Kinesiology):
    • Application for Valuation: Muscle testing, or applied kinesiology, is used in alternative medicine to assess the body’s response to various stimuli. Using this for assessing merit or virtues would be an unconventional application. (Dr. David Hawkins’ work makes it possible to do this) There’s no scientific consensus that muscle testing can reliably measure moral or spiritual qualities. However, for the purpose of this app, you might consider:
      • Implementing a system where participants self-test or are tested by others for reactions to certain scenarios or decisions (they could also run muscle tests through a database like https://consciousnesscalibrations.com/), perhaps using a standardized set of questions or interactions. The strength or weakness of muscle responses could then be interpreted as a measure of alignment with certain virtues or merits.
      • This approach would need to address significant ethical and accuracy concerns, as muscle testing lacks scientific validation for such uses and could be prone to bias or error. (Dr. Hawkins argues that people who calibrate on is Levels of Consciousness over the level of 400 calibrate reliably)
  3. Technical Implementation:
    • Blockchain Integration: The app would need to run on a blockchain to manage the cryptocurrency aspect. Smart contracts could potentially handle the logic for how transactions are valued based on the kinesiological data input.
    • Data Privacy and Security: Given the personal nature of the data involved (virtues, merit, interpersonal interactions), ensuring privacy through encryption and secure data handling would be crucial.
    • User Interface: Users would interact with an interface that allows them to input or receive data from kinesiology tests, possibly through a mobile app or wearable device.
  4. Challenges and Considerations:
    • Scalability and Consistency: Ensuring that the valuation of transactions remains consistent across different users and contexts would be challenging due to the subjective nature of kinesiology and personal virtues.
    • Acceptance and Trust: Gaining user trust in a system where personal moral or spiritual qualities are quantified would require transparency, clear methodologies, and perhaps third-party audits or validations.
    • Legal and Ethical Issues: The app would need to navigate legal frameworks around data protection, financial regulation, and ethical concerns about quantifying human behavior or morality.
  5. Potential Use Cases:
    • Community or Niche Markets: This could be particularly appealing in communities or groups focused on spiritual growth, ethical living, or alternative currencies where members agree on the values and metrics used.
    • Educational or Therapeutic Settings: As a tool for personal growth, where individuals are encouraged to reflect on their actions and virtues through a gamified or incentivized system.
While the idea is innovative, the practical implementation would need to overcome significant hurdles in terms of technology, ethics, acceptance, and legal compliance. If you move forward with such a project, thorough research into existing blockchain and kinesiology applications, combined with extensive user feedback, would be essential.
