> most jobs doesn't award you any of those

No, but if we build a society where inequality ceases to be an issue, jobs will stop rewarding greed and start rewarding whatever other currencies attract the best talent.

Similarly, entrepreneurship will be based on those currencies.

Money is a human construct. Inequality is a human construct. Neither are a requirement for the existence of humanity or for humans to thrive.

Looking back through history, there's always jerks who ruin this, being equal isn't enough: either they want to have more money than, and power over, everyone else; or they explicitly want others to suffer, usually people who look different.

Dealing with those personalities has cost us trillions of dollars throughout human history, but it keeps happening, because you can't evolve better brains in the few thousand years humans have been civilized.
