RE: Keep an Eye Out. They are.

You should see China's big cities. Camneras applying face recognition practically everywhere. And when the lower orbit satellites are up, they'll be able to penetrate through the walls and see what people do. No satellite serves only one purpose.

Sort:  

I feel crowded in the village I live in now.

I don't think I'd do well in the Chinese Social Capital System.

You'll have to. They intend to chinesify Europe. I don't know about US or other parts.

I do not have to. I can fail at anything!

How is that?

I don't even have a bank account. I am ready, willing, and able to just vanish back into the forest, where I am at home.

Social Capital isn't a currency I depend on for much, in the way the system intends. I fix things for people, and more often that not get paid in chocolate chip cookies, rather than money.

Real social capital - the gratitude of my neighbors - isn't able to be conveyed by an app controlled by centralized authorities, and since I already don't depend on financial institutions, I wouldn't even notice the kinds of blacklisting they can impose.

Enjoy while you still can.
