Features of life if the wild card manifests

Feature 1: business models and industrial environment
There might be a high discrimination of people having "bad brains" in the labour markets and on the job. The increased use of brain scanning techniques in assessment centers might particularly lead to a high unemployment rate of people having low "brain values", especially in scientific and knowledge-intense sectors.
