Control, Bureaucracy, & The Social Credit System
"Isn't it sad that we have to gain control of the artificial numbers placed upon us by others to regain some control of our lives?" - Rick Gregory
Control. The magical word that many so desperately cling to in order to establish some level of personal comfort, power, or leverage. Governments across the world consistently strive for more control. Corporations strive for market control, and as of late, consumer control. Even individuals participate in trying to control others by imposing their worldviews, ideologies, and positions on those around them. This happens on all sides of the spectrum, despite ideology or political identity. Many advocates of control tend to align their insidious positions with the ideas of a broadly supported way of thinking; be it conservatism or progressivism. Both ideologies want to advance society in different ways and thus operate as a perfect guise for those who have the intent to manipulate.
Society has developed soft ways to establish control. One of those strategies is through our credit reporting system. Imposing different guidelines with associated punishments for guideline violation has effectively created the perfect way to enforce levels of control in modern culture. Granted, not everything to do with the credit system is bad; in fact, a lot of it is established in data and verifiable facts and has benefitted many individuals' lives in positive ways. That doesn't mean systems like that don't engage in discriminatory action though, especially as systems like credit evolve to include useless, and quite subjective metrics enforced by hordes of bureaucracy.
Join the Wolf, the Bull, and Baewolf in episode 77 as they dive into the history of credit and the Social Credit System that many countries will likely impose. It's a great episode and we think it provides some fascinating insight into the rules that much of American society currently, and may potentially, abide by in the future.
