RE: The Upvote Economy
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Hollywood is generally very good about promoting the dark outcomes that, for the most part, do not come true. They play to the negativity bias that humans have and how we latch onto it.
Not saying there cant be a negative outcome to things, we know there can when technology is involved.
But we usually advance forward in spite of the drawbacks.

Sometimes a step forward is a step towards more surveillance, control and oppression and I am afraid also in this context. Just look at the social rating plans in China. I don´t want to get rated/upvoted at all.
Or the vaccination passports without them in future you won´t be able to travel anymore. Just an example how they sell total surveillance to people, and the sheeple even embrace it. But OK, another story.
Certainly people are very good about giving away their rights and privileges.
However, surveillance is a way technology is being used. If they people (sheeple) will not turn away from it, then we need to use technology to counter that.
It is the tug-o-war that is taking place. We need to keep decentralizing everything. A social credit system could easy be outdone if we create a "reputation" system of our own that the world follows.
Of course, people act like this is something new. We had credit systems in place for most of the things we do in life. Try to get a home, car, or job, all based on some type of system to size one up. Even school does that with grades.

I totally agree with you regarding Hollywood! There are a lot of things behind, and everyone are entertained.
