A scientist has discovered a surgical procedure involving two persons that, when performed, results in the reduction of one party's theoretical maximum potential IQ (the 'donor') and the increase in a second party's theoretical maximum potential IQ (the 'recipient') by the same amount. The procedure is safe. Despite the existence of the procedure, scientists do not know any more about the connection between IQ and its real-world outcomes than they do currently.

An insolvency (/bankruptcy) occurs when a party (‘the debtor’) is no longer able to pay their debts when they fall due to the collecting party (‘the creditor’). In an insolvency, certain creditors’ debts may have priority to be fully paid out above other creditor. Once priority claims have been settled, a debtor’s remaining assets are ordinarily proportionately paid out to creditors. The process of ‘equitable subordination’ allows judges to discretionarily re-order the payouts creditors receive and assign them priority. In most jurisdictions, equitable subordination is exclusively used to delay the claims of creditors who have acted unconscionably, or to ensure certain parties are paid out first (e.g., company employees, the liquidator).

There exists a novel technology ('calliagnosia', 'calli' for short). It is safe and irreversible. It renders the user unable to perceive or judge people, or depictions of people - including themselves - as good-looking or bad-looking (everyone looks 'neutral'; the user can still perceive the traits, physical or otherwise, of the person or depiction being observed, but simply does not see them as good- or bad-looking). You, amongst other young people, are given the option to take this technology; you are aware that you will probably be in a minority of people adopting this technology if you do so.
