I agree with your point.

I am sometimes baffled when people seem to think that the amount of money that is payed for a certain job is proportional to how beneficial that job or service is to the society. I mean, there are Bankers who make good money screwing everybody over. Yet somehow people seem to look up to them.

I'd like to think that there might be improvements in how we value/pay services. But letting the government decide that is also quite foolish.

I sometimes feel like currency is a primitive preliminary to this social points system.

People who show unusual or controversial behaviour (be it political or social) will soon loose sources of income and thereby social status.

People who stick to the accepted norms and ethics and do not act up will on average have the chance to move up the ladder and earn more money and prestige.

The analogy is not perfect, of course, but money has similar effects on our society.

Could you elaborate?

I think this is a horrible idea.

Just imagine how many times we have been wrong in our judgement of the behaviour of citizens. What would the social credit score of Ghandi or Martin Luther Kind have been, at the time of their prominent actions?

We have proven time and time again that there is no sure way to judge how "social and acceptable" something is, and the value of a behaviour to our society.

What is seen as "unsocial" today may be applauded by historians in the future.
