Ahh, you're cute. Thinking that this won't only apply to the ultra rich.

I was just thinking of a few randos having a chat in a short of futuristic bar, not really thinking much about the socioeconomic impact... 🙇🏻‍♂️

Sure, except the randos will be narrowed to an extremely small subset of the population.

Like, one-in-a-hundred-million small.

I like the double speak. Could be their ages, could be their health scores used for social and employment status.

If that was the natural progression for naming conventions we all would be named like Elon Musk's children.

I think OP means they are talking about their ages

Doubtful.
