Anyone read the book Daemon by Daniel Suarez? Sometimes it feels like we're heading in that direction, where each person has a reputation score, and everyone can see it.

- coldtea 6y agoWhen one side or another wants/gets to control the totality of life, including morality in the abstract (aside concrete actions) and what are "good ideas", that's the endgame. That's regardless of whether this control falls under direct state power (as in China) or is shared between state and private corporations (as in the US). That's also regardless of whether the control is total and absolute or not. It's enough that it exists as a presense to stiffle thinking freedom and social expression.
