Now that that's out of the way, I don't see why a system described by Charbox couldn't be implemented. You sign up for a service like Amazon and they ask you half-a-dozen questions. Do you usually agree with the conservative or liberal viewpoints? On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, indicate if religion is a part of your life. Etc. Of course this survey is optional, but if you fill it out then Amazon could adjust the ratings you see on books based on how like minded individuals voted. So when some people click on Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand they would see a high rating if they were conservative and maybe a single star if they identified themselves as liberal.
That's fine for getting recommendations. Not fine as a way of determining people's income which is what he proposed.
