Sometimes people try out arguments to experiment with ideas. This might be one of those cases involving the limits of reflecting human relations as economic relations. One example we already have is the reification of real world social relations into social networks which are monetized. There shouldn't be a reason why this is a one-way process - economic relations which are the proximal cause of distal social relations - namely the instantiation of friendships. Maybe in another world.
