I have a regular visitor at the farm, he's a politician and was the original owner of my land. He told me about this social credit system and asked about my opinion. I just shrugged my shoulders and told him to let other country do what they want to their citizen. But he told me that they might be implementing it in the near future. Some members from the lower congress have been talking about it and they think that it might be a good solution to rate or even trace each citizen's behavior.
I told him that it's a good idea if the government want to sort out its people, seeing which citizen is good and who is bad. I have no problem about it. I basically count myself a good, law-abiding citizen of my country. Then he laughed and told me that the system won't be seeing me as a good citizen if it will ever be implemented.
I registered my land as a farm and we have a regional law here that exempts agricultural lands from tax. The problem is, I'm not generating an income with my land. I just use it for farm related experiments. Experiments that I never shared to anyone until now. There were two people who wants to buy the data, but I turned them down.
This can be the reason why the social credit system will find me as a bad citizen.
The politician also told me to look around outside my area, and I just realized that most of the farmers around me were once law breakers(I admit that I find them intimidating sometimes). They were given a chance by him when the society doesn't want to give them a source of income anymore. There were only few politicians who do this. If ever an ex-convict decided to change for the better,
the social credit system will be hard for them.
My shopping habits; My government won't be able to trace it, because I'm not a credit card user. But he told me that they can. People are looking into blockchain technology as a medium of exchange, but my government might be adapting the technology of m-pesa.
This could be a problem for me, the experimental data that I've been hiding until now might be at risk. I can share it to all of my fellow farmers for free, but I'm afraid that it might go to the wrong hands(capital gains problem).
Lastly; the rate that I can get from the community. I'm not socially inclined person and they can rate me whatever they want, good or bad. I will just f*cking accept it.
Just my opinion about the social credit system in China;
- According to this
source, a person must reach a certain score in order for him/her to get a loan.
I wonder if I can ever survive with the system if I'm their citizen.
- I'm not sure if this is can lead to a better community. According to the source above, they have to gamify the system. But it's clearly just a capital gain, IMO.
- Their society is f*cked up, IMO. According to Darwin's theory,
natural selection is the key mechanism of evolution.
The natural selection is set-up to a whole new level, and I wonder if they will evolve for the better, only time can tell.
- If this kind of system will be implemented in my country, it was like bringing back the "excommunication" system implemented by catholic priests during the colonial period.
- Remove the monetary system and the social credit system will be much better for tracing bad citizens.
