THIS IS GLOBALLY IMPORTANT: Government Compliance Game

[Thaal Sinestro]

The problem is that this isn't a big turnaround in China... the country already has an immense grip on its people, the state is much more important than in America or Europe, and people's priorities are very different - I've heard for instance that your company pretty much defines your life, all your friends and activities happen in that company. This is just one further manifestation of this strong grip.

China already has censorship, tight control on the social networks and on the people. To us this might sound bad, but... I think that it's something most people will suck up because it's not nearly as bad to them as it is to us. I'm just worried to how it will develop - imagine China starting to actively monitor people who don't fall in line, spying on them or treating them lower than others.

They already treat them poorly and spy on them, but this week give them better eyes on, and a list of problem people to prioritize.

As the video points out, the big change is the SOCIAL aspect. When others can see your score and automatically discredit (or credit) you, it really creates a publicly supported system of compliance instead of a "big scary government" doing it.

Remember that factory explosion a few months ago? Now imagine nobody posting videos about it for fear of a lower score. The world would never know.
