So I think there's also something that when we interact with our kids, and I just had a kid, so he's like one year old, I just constantly think about how do I expose him to these different situations? where sometimes I tell him like, look, it's totally okay to be quiet and sit in the corner and kind of just think for yourself for a second.

But then also I want him to have these other situations where he can be a lot more outgoing. So I almost think of it as like this repertoire where you have a certain tendency, right? There's a pretty substantial genetic component to personality, but then there's also you being able to adjust to different contexts.

And I think that's something that we can teach kids and even tell them, look, if you behave differently across situations, that doesn't make you hypocritical. that can still be like this authentic version of yourself. It just means that you're adjusting to whoever is on the other side or what the context requires.

Yeah, absolutely. And for me, really intrusive part is that it's not just the ability to make inferences about who you are, right? You mentioned China. The reason for why the Chinese social scoring system is creepy in a way is that it also influences what you can do and what you cannot do. So it doesn't stop at, I want to try and understand who you are.

I'm also going to influence the path that your life can take, maybe the choices that you're making. So in China, if the government predicts based on your data that you might have a higher likelihood of voicing dissent or protesting, you're not allowed into Beijing. I teach this class on the ethics of data, but that's what's happening in China.

What do you think here kind of companies decide whether you might get a loan or not, whether you might get credit or not, what your insurance premium is or not? It's very similar. We try to understand how you might behave and then we shift the offerings that we have. We might try to sell you something that you don't need.
