The Mandatory Utilityization of Narrative & Contextual Experience

Beginning in the mid-2030s and accelerating through mandatory regulatory adjustments by 2040, the economic framework governing human leisure, education, and social interaction has undergone a fundamental shift: the institutionalization of Experiential Utility. Previously considered purely subjective or non-productive time, all forms of 'experience' are now systematically required to yield quantifiable data streams—be they emotional resonance metrics, verifiable cognitive inputs, or complex behavioral pattern modeling suitable for advanced AI training. This process mandates that participation in any activity must contribute a measurable, actionable utility layer back into the global computational economy.
