What if, there is a computation oriented solution for concensus that's not proof of work?

Meaning it's 100X faster than hash based PoW and it's still not about your stake?

What would be the point of that? Part of what makes pow special is the necessity of physical resources to be used up. This creates an anchor to the physical world, necessitating cost to avoid easy manipulation.

Can be useful as a sidechain maybe, for main chain no.

Without work, you're just lazy and taking advantage of other people's work.

no trust

Just a lightweight hash algorithm. Only moves the goal posts, doesn't change anything.
