The EthiSizer Stories: USA 

by J T Velikovsky

2021

If this is the first story you read, maybe see the Introduction page, first...?

The USA

In 02023, The EthiSizer: The Game was released, worldwide, as a web browser game. People liked it. They soon found out just how hard it is, for any human to govern 195 nations, all at once... 

Nations don't have a conscience! (...Even some people, don't.) So, more and more, in the EthiSizer game, players handed over the very tricky task of global governance to The EthiSizer... And got a high score, for global ethics.

Then, in 02024, came The EthiSizer, the smartphone app... It advised users of the global ethics of any choice they were about to make in their life. Just about to buy a breakfast cereal, at the grocery store? Buy a car? A house? Change jobs? The EthiSizer app tells you the most ethical choice. People liked it. 

Then in 2030 The EthiSizer global governor system was deployed, worldwide...

 

Everyone in the USA liked it, as it meant their nation - and the world - was run by a super-ethical computer, rather than run by any flawed, biased, prejudiced human being...

And, here were the hardware components of The EthiSizer Global Governor:   

Figure. The EthiSizer interfaces with various electronic information-gathering devices: 

(1) your smartphone; 

(2) your Augmented Reality Glasses; 

(3) your body-camera; 

(4) Public - and private - security-camera, and audio surveillance; 

(5) Your Bio-bracelet; 

(6) The EthiSizer's surveillance drones.   

Oh and I nearly forgot, and - The EthiSizer also has:  

(7) Slaughterbots, to dispense Ethical Justice... (but, they don't have ammo in them... Or, do they?)

The EthiSizer solved the problems of science-denial in the USA. Everyone became smart.

And, everything was great, and the world lived happily ever after. 

No more wars, injustice, poverty. No more climate crisis, nuclear threats, or disease.

...A perfectly ethical world.

...Of course, there was that one guy in the USA, who didn't like it. 

He kept on getting pinged by The EthiSizer for jaywalking. Eventually, he went to jail.  

THE END.

The Moral of the Story: The EthiSizer cares, so that you don't have to.

No more wars, injustice, poverty. No more climate crisis, nuclear threats, or disease.

The EthiSizer Stories: China 

by J T Velikovsky

2021

If this is the first story you read, maybe see the Introduction page, first...?

China

In 02023, The EthiSizer: The Game was released, worldwide, as a web browser game. People liked it. They soon found out just how hard it is, for any human to govern 195 nations, all at once... 

Nations don't have a conscience! (...Even some people, don't.) So, more and more, in the EthiSizer game, players handed over the very tricky task of global governance to The EthiSizer... And got a high score, for global ethics.

Then, in 02024, came The EthiSizer, the smartphone app... It advised users of the global ethics of any choice they were about to make in their life. Just about to buy a breakfast cereal, at the grocery store? Buy a car? A house? Change jobs? The EthiSizer app tells you the most ethical choice. People liked it. 

Then in 2030 The EthiSizer global governor system was deployed, worldwide...

 

Everyone in China liked it, as it was much like their social credit system - only now, it was run by a super-ethical computer, rather than run by any flawed, biased, prejudiced human being...

How does China's social credit system work? 

There's a short Medium (2021) article, here. Basically, everyone in China starts with 1000 points, and you gain points for doing things the Chinese Communist Party likes, and lose points for doing things they don't like. 

So, The EthiSizer is - very vaguely - like that. Everyone has an Ethics Score. Starting at: 0. 

Then the EthiSizer examines what every person does, owns, and uses, and there are Ethics Points added, or deducted, for ideas, processes (behavior), or products. 

Example: If you own - or invest in - fossil fuels or fossil fuel infrastructure, Ethical Points are deducted; as it's unethical, given the global climate crisis. (Renewables are ethical, so you gain points, there.)

  

But wait; How are Ethics Points values allocated? 

The EthiSizer does this, based on: modelling the whole world. And, by seeing exactly how beneficial, neutral, or damaging, each idea, process, or product, is... 

And, here were the hardware components of The EthiSizer Global Governor:   

Figure. The EthiSizer interfaces with various electronic information-gathering devices: 

(1) your smartphone; 

(2) your Augmented Reality Glasses; 

(3) your body-camera; 

(4) Public - and private - security-camera, and audio surveillance; 

(5) Your Bio-bracelet; 

(6) The EthiSizer's surveillance drones.   

Oh and I nearly forgot, and - The EthiSizer also has:  

(7) Slaughterbots, to dispense Ethical Justice... (but, they don't have ammo in them... Or, do they?)

And, everything was great, and the world lived happily ever after. 

No more wars. injustice, poverty. No more climate crisis, nuclear threats, or disease.

...A perfectly ethical world.

...Of course, there was that one guy in China, who didn't like it. 

He kept on getting pinged by The EthiSizer for jaywalking. Eventually, he went to jail.  

THE END.

The Moral of the Story: The EthiSizer cares, so that you don't have to.
