We already rate each other...this just takes it to another level...of course...the issue becomes if those in power use it for selective purposes...medical health ratings come to mind..."super race" ring any bells?
Then we get into the whole gene splicing and creating "designer" babies....frankly...we are slowly becoming machine like...no doubt evolutionary changes will follow...
Part of me is concerned but I'm at an age where I realize this is the human path...no stopping it...just more ways to either benefit human beings or find ways to wipe out civilization....some will use it for good...others for evil and power...human nature even if we end up as cybots...
Thought provoking article...thanks.
Yeah, I think we already do to an extent but right now, that doesn't have any meaning. The problem starts when such a rating system gets a meaning on the basis of which important things relating to life are decided. The credit system in China should provide enough feedback for the rest of the world to not follow such a system.
