Great article! I think the flutes should go to those who put in the effort regardless of ability. But then I’m not sure whether that’s on a loan basis so they can be taken away if the flutes end up at the back of the wardrobe. But who owns them in that case? The State? And what if you’re putting in some effort and enjoying the flute but then someone comes along who is keener than you are? Do you have to give it to them?
I don’t know. Political philosophy and the fair distribution of resources is tricky. I could have a little rant about things in the UK but I’ll stick with flutes!
Flute ownership could be tokenized and owned by a DAO with an initial minting of its bespoke cryptocurrency held partly by investors and partly by flautists. Flute use would auctioned off in its cryptocurrency, subject to the vote of token holders. Simple as can be.
In all seriousness, DAO thinkers and researchers have some very interesting ideas around shared ownership of goods, but I don’t think any of them would support seizing the world’s best flute to be tokenized. Similarly, I think the answer to the question you posed would depend on the flute’s current owner.

That's an interesting idea! I wonder how we would tell who is putting in the effort? Surveillance?
>Surveillance
Thanks. But I think I'd rather stick with the current system. Yuck.
I think we should not take away flutes from people even if we think others deserve those flutes more.
Good point!
