In the global industry vs health assessment by WHO at 2009, there were three main factors that link your occupation to your background.

One is location of birth - and partly the population density.
Two is socioeconomic status of birth
Three is marital stability of the parents - ironically this was inversely proportional, meaning more stable the parents are, more likely you are due for unemployment or lower industry tier.

The study revealed more things about your job and your health, but that's another story.

Because it's clearly an extremist setting that the writers are trying to tell a message with. Which is fine I guess, but not realistic in the least. Some people might want it, sure, but an entire society?

The problem is that your upward mobility is limited unless you have higher education.

It's quite normal that people doing hard, manual labour earn more than university alumni at the beginning, but both of their pay increases oer time, the latter one's much more rapidly and the former one's caps out after some two decades.

Physical labour is also very straining to body and mental health, making you more prone to illness.

We politics now?

Sybil's system IS flawed. The show is about how people living in a society where everything is decided from the moment they are born are eventually oppressed.

Maybe Shinya could have been something more than an enforcer, but Sybil decided that he couldn't so he might never know. The same happens with that raped girl on the first episode, Sybil decided that she was hopeless and yet, due to the circumstances she changed.

So having a system that decides who will you be and what are you going to do based on circumstantial evidence, with no other option than to follow it, cuts off so many vast possibilities of what you could become that you end up stuck in an oppressive state. You'll never find out if you could do well in other job or whether you could have had other kind of life because Sybil never let you.

No - that's a fallacy used to trick gullible libtard middle class children.

Plenty of people who now own mulitmillionaire businesses started small, heck even in Mcdonalds they boast of having numerous senior managers working on the til at first.

The important thing is gaining relevant industry experience and setting your sights high.

The most important thing is that not everyone is cut for university education. Simple as that.
You can just slide through most easier courses and earn that amazing Master Degree in useless shit, but at this point you have wasted few years of your life and you'll be one of the many unemployed people. Should've went for welding, bricklaying or something like that.

A lot of people think that education is the way to success, and while it most certainly is, not everyone can or should pursue that. Because of that shit you end up with countries where there's so little manual laborers that an engineer overseeing them earns about 30% of their wage.

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious that there are exceptions, but for the vast majority of people it still holds true.
The exceptions only apply to especially special people with very unique talents and sadly most people aren't special.

The bank I'm working at, for example, has a section manager who's been working for 30 years here, is loved by people and known for his talent, but people don't allow him to gain a higher position (board of managers) precisely because he lacks official higher education.

Watch as Urobuchi kills some characters to prove you wrong.

Just kidding. Is both humans and Sybil who have flawed dynamics.

Let's say that the day Shusei was told that he was a latent criminal. Just think about it. Under what circumstances a five year old could be capable of committing a crime? Maybe it was his parents, maybe it was the ambient, maybe it was something wrong with his brain. But in the end, that could have changed and he could have turned out to be a different kind of person. Just as the rape girl changed when Akane tried to calm her down, many of the people Sybil "diagnosed" could have.

Sybil doesn't bother in changing people for the better when they are wrong. It just decides what life they'll have the moment she checks them and that's it, there's no more possibilities. That's the mistake here, she can't do what Akane did.

It's the price of the system. Think about how many actual criminals have gotten off scot free due to incompetence or the police thinking they were okay.

The Sibyl System gets rid of the irrational and luck aspect of life and instead offers you CHOICES in what career you'll be best at.and what will make you the happiness. Because, let's face it most people consider happiness as a roof over your head and a meal on the table.

I don't think you realize how machines work. Their very foundations are different. Also, having multiple PhDs does not mean you're smarter than someone who has one or even someone who has none. Getting a PhD is for someone who wants to do research, this does not mean that person is smarter than someone else.

>>74167575
Actually it does. Being influenced by something else does not mean you do not make the decision yourself. If you had read what I meant by free will you would understand. The meaning is this: your decisions are not determined beforehand. You cannot "divine" the decision a person will make in every single circumstance. You can give probabilities, but nothing certain.

Sure environmental effect plays a large role, but why do you think Sybil will not take that into account?

IF I MAY INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT:

Yogurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. Lactose-intolerant individuals can sometimes tolerate yogurt better than other dairy products, because the lactose in the milk is converted to glucose and galactose, and partially fermented to lactic acid, by the bacterial culture.
Yogurt containing live cultures has been found effective in a randomized trial at preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Yogurt contains varying amounts of fat. There is non-fat (0% fat), low-fat (usually 2% fat) and plain or whole milk yogurt (4% fat). A study published in the International Journal of Obesity (11 January 2005) also found that the consumption of low-fat yogurt can promote weight loss, especially due to the calcium in the yogurt.

Because contrary to popular belief personality tests are pseudoscience. And it is pretty much impossible to take into account environmental factors properly. Why? Because it would have to determine what kind of people you can even come into contact with and what kind of contact. The computational power required to do simple judgements on people grow exponentially into numbers that will far exceed even numbers such as atoms in the universe. Unless they have some never thought of model for doing environmental calculations like that it just does not seem feasible. And this means the system would be prone to errors.

>>74167906
>Reasoning that someone's argument is right simply because he's an authority on the subject is fallacious reasoning
Actually this is kind of the case in the scientific community, but then again, people there are verified authorities and this doesn't make the argument correct but a whole lot more believable.

>>74167980
Actually no, if the probability is above 50% you can give an answer to the inclination part, but ONLY with a certain amount of statistical error probability. This is what you seem to misunderstand: studies pretty much always have statistical errors due to the nature of the studies themselves. Even if you do a study on the whole population you would still get statistical errors that you have to manually determine or guess. Sure there are certain methods for getting these values, but it's still not a water-proof concept.

Yes, there'll definitely be errors. I'm an engineering major, accepting errors is what I do in every problem I solve. The real question is actually: how much error, and is that error rate acceptable?

I presume that the Sybil system's error rate is well within the acceptable range, and that's why it's been approved and accepted by society. Nothing is perfect, even the airplanes you fly in have a probability to blow up midair. But they don't, at least not often, and you can thank engineers for that.

Nowadays we, too, have robots for all kinds of tasks.

Factories, for example, use a lot of robots, yet every factory also has lots of people that manually bend metal using a hammer or some antiquated bending machine.

Why? We have robots for everything after all?!

The answer is easy: It's much more economically feasible to let a human bend a small metal part, two pieces a day, than investing BILLIONS (yes, robots and full automatization are fucking expensive) for a few machines that produce metal parts worth maybe 500€. Paying some human will cost maybe a few thousand Euro at most.

I know, but a system which decides the rest of your life that can make errors would not really work. Also I would like to refer you to my earlier comment on the computational complexity of environmental features in the development of a human being and how much it affects them. The computational power required for that would just be unimaginable, meaning that it either does a really simplified environmental analysis (which makes it rather worthless and the error rate goes through the roof) or it is just omitted entirely, which means it just isn't worth anything.

Let's say you have a population of 10 people, how many ways could they interact with each other? Now take that number to 1 000 000. Now apply some arbitrarily generated probability that they will meet as well. And this would just be finding out in what kind of ways they could interact. The actual evaluation would have to still be done.

You have little to no choice to participate in either system, mostly due to the fact that said systems are in place so as to protect you, assuming you are believed to be an upstanding member of society, or to protect others from you, assuming you are believed to be an undesirable.

Both systems can be gamed so as to make someone appear to be something they are not. The police have hunches and biases that make them want to take certain people in based on little to no evidence, or they have power trips. The SYBIL system works off inherently flawed 'measurements' of psychological make-up, but it at least takes these measurements as accurately as it can. The SYBIL system can fuck up by, say, targeting someone as irreparably damaged despite the fact that they may be having a temporary break and are still salvageable.

Both of the systems are in place to protect people, and they must have the authority to force people to obey them, otherwise there's no point to them. The only real difference between the systems is that one is run by humans and the other is run by a computer, so the computer system appears to have a stronger internal logic in addition to being somehow more authoritarian. It's flaws are also more readily apparent as it is a computer, and therefore it's flaws are also more inexcusable. Of course, we see these flaws as flaws because, for one, it's not the system we are used to, and for two, we think that the SYBIL system is not performing as it should.

Over 300 CC does not mean irreparably damaged. I have no idea where you guys get that from. It just means the system decides it's not worth it for the target to exist, at that specific point of time and place.

That particular woman was in a position to set a large fire, that was probably the factor that pushed her over 300. It's better for society to lose one person than to have the entire warehouse go up in flames and endanger other lives.

But the Sybil system gives you many choices on how to proceed. The same thing with someone afraid of airplanes they can just drive or take a bus.

>>
>>74168600
Actually, it has more to do with the fact that factories like that take a large investment, which is more difficult to come by. Then you also require the necessary technology and operators. Getting people who know what the robots do and similar is quite a difficult task and probably a very costly one.

But that's not the case in the society we're looking at. There AI could operate the robots themselves and tend to them in most cases.

>>74168828
I know. I have actually programmed some models for flowing water before, but you DO have to worry about this. Why? Because there is no way to determine beforehand what kind of an impact a type of person would have on another type of person, you would have to look at those people directly. And the proposed scenario I gave would be 2^N where N is the size of the population. Even at 300 people just the number of possible interactions in the group would be orders of magnitude higher than the estimated number of atoms in the universe.

We're talking about complex human beings interacting with each other, you have to take their interactions into account if you want to predict how they will affect each other. And just determining who could possible interact with whom is something unimaginably difficult.

In human interaction: a 5 minute episode with someone can change their world entirely, so almost every single interaction is important.

Okay. That's just what it seemed to imply to me. I figured that the system would have the kill point also set as the point of no return for the subject. I don't think that changes much in the analogy though. The cops can end up doing the same kind of thing. If there's a crazy woman with a lighter about to set off a huge fire, I'm not sure how long they would try to negotiate.

Yes, but doing such simplifications requires the interactions to be rather simplified themselves, but if you want to assess how humans will affect each other (which we can't even properly comprehend in today's world) then you would have to be able to boil those interactions down to something simple as well. But that would not give you any kind of usable information on how people would affect each other.

>>74169633
It doesn't really matter though. If their universe is anything like ours the computational complexity would kill almost anything there as well. There are just certain limitations which you cannot really get over if the universe itself works in a similar fashion.

That's why I added the "magical matter" part.

Anyways, you could also just assume that, instead of applying it to the computational power, the suspension of disbelieve has to be applied to the efficiency of algorithms accurrately measuring and predicting human behaviour.

I still don't understand how killing them is the problem. SYBIL won't give you the 'job' perfect killer. If SYBIL predicts someone as the 'perfect killer' how does it invalidate the system if they remove that perfect killer. The system is doing what it's supposed to do, predict criminal tendencies.

Sybil does not analyze people accurately. Anyone who thinks so is too dumb to understand the concept of population control.

Sybil was designed to incite fear in the population. People believe that the system is accurate, so they do what they can to keep off the grid. The system looks a certain personality profiles, compares them to criminals, and then picks one at random that LOOKS like a criminal.

The system makes a close enough match, terminates, and everyone is all "Wow, this system is accurate. We all better stay in line."

It is that simple.

The system itself has a lot of bells and whistles to distract from this simple concept.

Not really. Someone had to have create Sibyl, which means someone had to have imprinted a little of their own subjectivism into it. So if anything, its just as bad as Light.

A better option would be using the resources spent on the computer & system on automating the food harvesting for example and ALL sorts of crap, letting every human find himself. Still want to work in a factory and do manual labor? If you do, please, nobody minds - and you work along with machines.

Unfortunately, people would become lazy and die by suffocating in their own fat (I haven't seen wall-e but I believe that's exactly what happened there). So that's no option either.

The real answer is simple as we humans need to step aside and finally die off after creating a universal life form that would live in our place, knowing no suffering or pain, in harmony with nature.

The problem with Sybil is not that it's not perfect. Because even if it is, humans it regulates aren't. They are prone to error in both negative and positive sense.

In a conservative world of Haves vs Have_nots, that seems to be the most efficient method. It also has the advantage of preserving a large but not too large gap between the people at the top end who decide things and everyone else.

>Where is the human dignity?

That is a liberal concept. You hear that even today in the USA when the liberals talk about human dignity in today's political campaigns. But human dignity versus business efficiency are two separate things that are opposed to each other. Human dignity means social services and the republicans emphasize that the gov't should not be in the business of taking care of people (social welfare). You've heard that over and over.

Of course the Sybil is not perfect. It's just a machine. It only does what it's created to do; rank and file the user, not be a god.

Technically, the current justice system isn't perfect either. I guess most people do genuinly consider Sybil to be an improvement people doing that is partially why it is a dystopia.

A lot of the USA's "founding fathers" were stupid people not able to graduate from college. Even George Washington never graduated from high school since he joined the British Army at a young age. As an officer, he made mistakes that got many killed and in today's fairly conservative USA army (military members typically vote republican), he would have been disgraced.

Hal9000 would be a vast improvement to PP, even if he's been done to death.

asimov was a shitty writer who is only famous because of his involvement in magazine editing and sci fi conventions. Plus he was a misogynist asshole.

It's not a dystopia. The people have choices, they still have access to entertainment like the internet, people still have emotions and "free will".

Plus a world where Shinya exists can't be a dystopia.

i don't know if you're just trolling, but these people were extensively educated by their own incredibly privileged families. Many of them went on the Grand Tour. They all invariably studied with prviate tutors.

The founding fathers were ALL extremely rich, privileged, and educated... They were the closest thing to aristocrats in the colonies, and their families had considerable influence in the states. Only idiots think they were 'common folk like us'

now that I think about SHODAN or GLaDOS would be a better comparison. Letting a single computer run a entire facility be it city,space station or science facility is generally a bad idea. Has it ever been stated Sybil is sentient?

unlike popular dystopia people generally seem to have a decent standard of living. Unlike 1984.

What did you expect? It's the same people that rebelled and caused terrorism over taxes. Which is ironic because America has taxes even to this day.

You are just as annoying as ever. Stop being a liberal apologist and supporting liberals.
