I have elected to recite my lines from Othello. I will be reciting lines from Iago.
Iago-
Good name in man and woman, dear my lords,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash.

Reilly, I found your article very interesting. I personally believe the best solution to fixing the insane price for higher education to be increasing the federal funding for education. The US has the highest GDP of any nation in the world, by far. Yet we are spending many times the amount of money on education, or even medical research, on…[Read more]

Hey Shane, I really liked reading your article. I wrote something similar as my first post to this community: https://www.youthvoices.live/2017/09/18/can-we-colonize-mars/ .

Hello Christopher, I found your article interesting! Depending on who you ask, this problem is either critically irrelevant or negligible to our generation. While you did say that cellphones are making us “shallow thinkers”, I would like to argue another point.

I am researching the future AI will have on the human workforce. Many people agree that AI will completely take over some industries, like you said. Human intelligence is still required for many jobs, something that AI is not close to replicating. One article I read interestingly said that humans and AI will work together in a “symbiotic” union. While it is far away, the the sentient robots are an ominous thought. I agree to look on the optimistic side of things. I look forward to further research.
The article I mentioned: (https://via.hypothes.is/http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/gic/ViewpointsDetailsPage/ViewpointsDetailsWindow?disableHighlighting=false&displayGroupName=Viewpoints&currPage=&scanId=&query=&docIndex=&source=&prodId=GIC&search_within_results=&productShortName=GIC&mode=view&catId=&u=pioneer&limiter=&display-query=&displayGroups=&contentModules=&action=e&sortBy=&documentId=GALE|A520980263&windowstate=normal&activityType=BasicSearch&failOverType=&commentary=)

Hello Franciely, I found your post very amusing. I personally agree with the students in that situation.

Raymond, I found your article very interesting. This issue is very interesting and in many ways scary. I did some research and found that people with lower rating scores will likely receive low internet speeds as well as travel implications. I believe this system is an invasion of privacy and agree on your stance. Here is an intriguing article I found: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/chinese-government-social-credit-score-privacy-invasion

Raymond,
This is a very interesting topic, the mere idea of a system like that baffles me. How would they even determine a “worth” could we even trust that system even if it was perfectly fine and there was no implications? I feel like if they were to implement this system that the public would revolt and overthrow the government. -
Raymond, I just read through your source and article. This is all a very fascinating and worrisome move towards the dystopia depicted in 1984 by George Orwell. If I didn’t know you’ve read the book already, that would be my recommendation, but since you have, please make do with looking through https://via.hypothes.is/http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/08/15/what-could-chinas-social-credit-system-mean-for-its-citizens/ and my annotations to it.
