I disagree here. I think this change is necessary for society to evolve. Society is not a static thing and just because things have been done a certain way, doesn't mean it is right. My suspicion is we are doing many things wrong, electricity hasn't even been invented for much more than 100 years, yet we organize ourselves in a similar way as we have been for millennia. If we do need to change, then what? Well-being may be a great measure, in fact I think it may be the only measure. There are many concerns like gaming, lying, or corruption. But I think with the challenges can be minimized; why? Well induction, if we had this current economic system with all it's faults work, then why can't well-being be another metric? Moreover, I think this is exactly the step we need to make because part of the reason this earth is dying is because humans have prioritized materialistic exploitation. We need to move on from those notions, and if well-being is the new metric, then that sounds great to me.
