Every baby born gets added to a digital marketplace.
You can invest in babies from birth until adulthood.
From early adulthood you receive the investments in your
development: textbooks, educational media, money,
scholarships
When you get a job, a percentage of your salary goes to
investors.
Investors
have a vested interest in your success. And you
benefit from being invested in.
Investors would quickly learn which individuals achieve the
most in life. It would revolutionise society because
investors would be looking for every fact that produces a
better return. They would look at parent profiles such as
careers of the parents, area the child was born, what
school they go to.
Investors would be championing what gives people the
biggest salaries.

Afraid this will further divide the haves and have-
nots. |

Maybe if the government did it and the returns come from increased tax take, the randomly boosted individuals would be hidden in society as a whole. It would be like an educational lotto bet. |
|

Commodification of children to create even more
inequality - boke! |

One could argue that this concept is mostly baked by the
military, albeit with an "opt-in" component at the
beginning. |

Every new recruit gets added to a digitally-managed
logistics and labor allocation system. |
|
| |
Anyone (including recruits) can invest in the stock market
of a nation which invests in recruits from enlistment
through retirement. Specifically, corporations in the S&P
500, and especially their employees, pay considerable
taxes, which pay to hire recruits in the military. |
|
| |
From enlistment you recieve the investments in your
development: textbooks, educational media, money,
scholarships, and physical training. |
|
| |
When you get a job, your salary reflects that a
percentage of your work is heroically protecting the free
world which includes a nation's stock market. |

Index fund investors and military leadership share a
vested interest in your military success. And you benefit
from being invested in. |
|
| |
The military leadership has some idea which individuals
achieve the most in life. This revolutionized military
leadership because leadership is looking for every fact
that enhances military readiness. They looked at
standardized test results (e.g. the ASVAB) as well as
fitness scores and other screenings applied during
induction to determine what school they are sent to. |
|
| |
Large investors are championing what gives people like
them the biggest salaries. |

What happens to babies that don't attract investment? |

The havesbakery and the havenotbakery. |

This becomes very subjective in relative peacetime. It's
hard to tell a genuine hardcore effective fighting unit
from one that can do a very good impression of a
hardcore fighting unit in the absence of real fighting. The
military knows it looses effectiveness on a moving
background of changing technology. Everyone plans, most
of those turn out to be junk when people get punched on
the nose. |

Presumably, the investment cost will be different? As
would the opportunities? Want to invest in the child of a
Pediatric oncologist and mechanical engineering
management consultant in New England? Well, that will
require a big initial investment, the parents aren't going
to be motivated to share data etc for small sums, then
the opportunities to make a difference will be small.
Presumably that kid won't be missing many minor things,
perhaps your only opportunity will be the option to fund a
gap year well-digging in west Kenya. So the return on
investment is likely small. Similarly, they could go way
off the rails and end up dependents, this could cost you. |

Conversely, someone born in poorer circumstances a text
book here, a few tutoring sessions there can change
things dramatically. |
