Sturgeon Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Sounds like a formalization of what's already going on in the US. But yeah, it's pretty scary, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cm_kruger Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 And the vast majority of people won't care because "they can watch me all they want because I'm not a criminal so I have nothing to hide" or "I'm a good slave party member who doesn't question the state." People for whom dissent is as alien as math is to a horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tied Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 okay if CM kruger hates it than there must be something inherently admirable about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Fight Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 You really have to double-check Extra Credits. I stopped watching them once I realized they either would only read the WIkipedia page or one or two news stories on these sorts of topics, yet they really like to speak with authority. Their videos on things like gamification and addiction are proof of that. For some reason, James Portnow just happens to be an expert and well-read on everything, while providing zero sources for any of the claims in the videos. I'm not jumping on a wagon either way, but here's an article that has a different view: https://www.techinasia.com/china-citizen-scores-credit-system-orwellian Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Fight Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm not saying it isn't unsettling if claims are true (this really just seems like someone read a story, and extrapolated, so I'm absorbing what information I can). I just think China just has more obviously repressive shit on their resume than this that they've been doing for decades that a game that for now mostly measures credit rating to even compare.
