RE: Our Cultural Blind Spot Shows in how we Define Money

in #money7 years ago

This reminds me of a Black Mirror episode I saw where everyone had a score. It was more of a Facebook profile type score, but everyone had one and it went up or down depending on how nice you were. We are terrifyingly close to that reality, if not already there.

Also, I have always thought it bullshit that a credit score counts the things you have done against you (missed payments, late payments, etc) but doesn't count the things for you (all the monthly payments you make on time other than a car or home loan. For instance, paying your cell phone bill on time every month doesn't make your credit score rise any, but being late or delinquent even one time on a cell phone bill and it dinks your credit. The same can be said for any other bill other than credit cards and mortgage. That's some bullshiiiit.)

Sort:  

I seen the episode too, so much of black mirror is disturbingly accurate in the direction the global culture is heading

Agreed. It's terrifying.

Really scary. I found that black mirror episode to be somewhat unrealistic but you just have to look at china to see a real world model like that being build.
