  When you reach a certain amount of power your horizon grow accordingly. Neoliberals do not sell "anything" anymore, those were the classic liberals, those who create two world war and 30+ years wars in '800. Their successors have evolved. They change schools, to form puppets instead of citizens, they change the society at a slow peace to lay the foundation of a new dictatorship, they'll became "the platform" of the society, the sole who detain knowledge, the sole who have factories etc. Voting these days is just a show, starting from the Condorcet paradox we are now at a point that thanks to media alignment and propaganda all visible candidates are equally puppet formally different but effectively maneuvered by the same master. For a certain amount of time people was kept quiet with high growth, so people see improvements, is entertained and so "happy". When scarcity arrive such system break, a war is needed, catastrophes are needed, something big enough to justify the new messy state of things. But pushing to war and action an aging population grown to be just spectators from the sofa is difficult. So there is a need of "new citizens", young and obedient, that's the purpose of social score, of smart cities.
