Great film clip lol

An interesting topic though all over the place. Not sure if it's about Chinese social credit system, vaccines or general dangers of technology. Anyway, let's start with China. It's social credit system is a tool of control certainly, but let's give some credit to the poor Chinese. They've made some progress since the time of Mao. Sure, the government has more opportunities to control the citizens due to the rapid advancement of technology but it no longer slaughters people en masse. We don't hear regularly about the massacres in China and it's as much freedom as you can get by the Chinese standards.

Mandatory vaccines is nothing new. When there was smallpox epidemic in Poland, the government forced vaccines on everyone. The authorities didn't issue fancy vaccine passports. Instead, the police simply would forcefully drag an obstinate individual to the place where the vaccines were administered while he was screaming, kicking, spitting, cursing and what not to no avail.

My point is that technology doesn't really make governments more oppressive. It can make the violence more sophisticated but the history shows that the authoritarian regimes can do well without it.

I think sometimes it's good to remember that humans often live in two different worlds... the real world of natural things... and the human-made world of contrivance.

Technology is something that is essentially a tool.  
The tech is never the true culprit... it's only what humans do with technology in their world that marks 'use for exploitation and control.'

The social score idea is a somewhat predictable development popularized and set into reality by people of two types...

1) Those who follow the path of technocracy as governance, 
2) And those who want to get away with something otherwise out of their reach without enforced monitoring and mandates.

I was at a Christmas party for my work and it was a mystery dinner theatre thing.
Besides the live actors who came and acted out and talked to us, the clues were only accessible with QR codes. I don't feel like using my phone at dinner or scanning shit, so when time came to review it I said 'I don't appreciate being made to use QR codes, not everyone has or wants to use their phone.'

SCS kicks off in Vietnam.

Democrats and Rhino's are all for this system. Want to control your speech. Use foreigner's to invade and dilute your vote so they can sell you their inferior bag of tainted goods. Steal everything you have. Trump and military seem to be fixing this. 

Quote:Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Serious Human Rights Abuse and Corruption 
 On December 20, 2017, by Executive Order 13818, the President declared a national emergency with respect to serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world and, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), took related steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.

The tools of a paranoid government are ALL weapons.

When the "threat" is embraced as "the people I serve..."
I would expect "fear" will now be staved off by eliminating the threat.

If I am a paranoid governor, or governing body...
it will be a crime against the people...
to say the government is 'wrong.'

Anyone can think it...
but no one may entertain the idea of saying it to them.

It's like having a friend/parent/lover who is always prepared to hurt you...
... and 'teaches lessons' through their behavior...
"Sorry sweetheart, you're making me do this..."

It's interesting that the resulting demographics "wont" show exactly "who" they target...
... only the 'reported' algorithmic reason "why."

Palantir is already doing this.

Quote:Taylor Rogers, White House spokesperson, said in a statement to Newsweek on Monday: "President Trump signed an executive order to eliminate information silos and streamline data collection across all agencies to increase government efficiency and save hard-earned taxpayer dollars."

 

Quote:Former Republican Representative Justin Amash: "The surveillance state...the police state...the deep state......are alive & well under Trump. He signed bills to extend & expand mass surveillance. Now he's building profiles' on millions of law-abiding Americans. It's an extraordinary threat to liberty."

And

Quote:Other critics, including activist Jason Bassler, compared the plan to China's "Social Credit System," warning of the dangers of centralized personal dossiers.
"No, this Palantir database isn't like the others," Bassler wrote on X on June 1. "It will combine:-Tax filings
-Student debt
-Social Security
-Bank accounts
-Medical claims
-Immigration status
"No previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies."

Link Thanks, Trump

Lol have you ever actually watched that movie, its called my dinner with Andre and the dude is tripping off LSD for like the first entire hour of the dinner

The movie will make you question your sanity I highly recommend it

As for social credit, I say to all of you, is it really that hard to simply not be a D-bag? Let the kind and the lawful reap the rewards. Or you can keep thinking the government has their eye on you like my schizophrenic next door neighbor, no judgement here

The last part of this I was speaking in general not specifically to you Karl. The only real issue I have with social credit is the database full of PII that is an enormous attack surface for threat actors at least spread it out a bit

AI will track every word you have ever typed and maybe even spoken near a recording device, possibly go deeper, it will sift every move, every every cent and then control every cent you spend
its just awaiting a tracking number and physical mark on your body to control you
The rise of satan is upon us. 
you will worship the beast system to live
