A lot of things Love Systems teaches has a lot to do with social value. One thing to keep in mind that social value is relevant to its context. Unless you're an A-list celebrity, most of the time social value is relative. At an house party you host, you have the highest social value. But in an army full with other soldiers...you're just another guy. Great post! A lot of things Love Systems teaches has a lot to do with social value.

Yes its such a big topic, I may write about some other aspects of social value in the future. Its also true that anyone can change their value. Sometimes its as simple as just deciding to give the value you already have. Sometimes it will require lots of work. But its all within your control. Thanks for the comment Matt.

Social value is core to everything we do and is critical to succeeding in any big city, we all have value just some us have more than others. A person's social value can be increased by life experience basically getting off the couch and off the internet and live an interesting life that other people would want to part of. Just be awesome ;) All im going to say is this is an awesome topic but you are only just scratching the surface of it.

Social value is a powerful type of currency. Good thing we recognize this concept at an early stage of our life. I know people that end up doing big things just by knowing people. What other people don't realize is that we "pay it forward" before we expect to get anything in return. Most people like to make the quick buck, social value is not a quick buck - but it lasts for a lifetime thats why it far more valuable. Great concept. Social value is a powerful type of currency.
