   explicitly is about more than booksmarts and IQ, then have all the

   Maybe this is a comment on the 3-digit social ranking system in China?

   the    
   establishment of a nationwide tracking system to rate the reputations of    
   individuals, businesses, and even government officials. The aim is for every    
   Chinese citizen to be trailed by a file compiling data from public and private    
   sources by 2020, and for those files to be searchable by fingerprints and   
   other    
   biometric characteristics. The State Council calls it a “credit system that    
   covers the whole society.”"
