For a modern consumer, it can be difficult to stretch the imagination enough to recognize anything other than material Value.
Nonetheless, it is possible to invite someone to think about something useful that they were never able to think about before. This is an example of creating Nonmaterial Value. In school you learned what to think about. But what are you using to think with? What you think with is neither explored nor expanded in school.
You think with 'thoughtware'. Upgrading thoughtware as a service is an example of creating Nonmaterial Value.
Since modern culture thoughtware is for the most part uninspected, handed down from generation to generation, you absentmindedly use Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware that permits you to generate only standard human intelligence results, which, at this point, is causing the extermination of life on Earth.
In the outdated definition of GNP, a fisherman goes out and kills fish, then sells the dead fish for money. The more fish he catches and sells, the more he contributes to the GNP. This system incentivizes the extermination of fish. Did the fisherman create the fish? No. He stole them from Earth, from himself. Not only that, but he kills more than he can eat. Even so-called 'farmed fish' rely on the whole of Earth's ecological systems to support the farming process. Of what is the 'fish food' made that the fish-farmers feed to the fish on their fish farm? Other fish, of course.
Let's not be stupid. This is self-cannibalism, amplified to the nth power.
In Nonmaterial Value GNP, you measure the Value that humans create for each other and for the Earth.
Consider this tiny example of what sorts of nonmaterial creations are valuable:
Delivering authentic adulthood initiatory processes.
Guiding the decontamination of the adult ego state.
Transforming unhealed traumatic experiences into solid Matrix as a basis for Adulthood.
Facilitating gameworld culture-shift through Metaconversations.
Opening up the way for a person to lower their Numbness Bar.
Causing adventure.
Making it possible for someone to become aware of what they were not aware of and entering the Waking State.
Negotiating intimacy in 5 bodies.
