Letters From The Time Traveler: It Will Be Impossible To Rent, Buy or Live With a Poor Social Score 2027
Dearest,
Social scoring has been a long-time concept. As you know, the well-off are treated better than the poor.
But as I have traveled, I have seen class systems change. Some have changed for the better but others, like I am going to share with you in 2030, have not.
So What Does This Mean For Everyone?
Just like this Black Mirror episode (yes, time travelers watch Netflix!), we now have this scoring system: The episode is called Nosedive, Season 3 on Netflix.
In 2030, society will no longer judged on their social media numbers but on an overall number.
At first, it started out scoring people based on:
- credit score
- driving (companies like Allstate are already gathering this data. I recommend people opt out of this now.)
- income (many people’s income is pubic record already)
- overall financial value
- educational levels obtained (higher for college graduates)
- criminal record (very easy to find this information on sites like Truthfinder)
