    So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.

      Well, we already experience that psychological torture. After 2002/2003, and then especially after 2012, this concept has already burdened our everyday behavior. Browsing behavior, phone calls, texts, emails…every single way we communicate, even face to face meetings with phones in our pockets are open to surveillance. And it’s been shown that it’s been used. Over a decade ago, thanks to Snowden. Now? Things have surely gotten worse and I would bet the farm on behavior very much having changed due these facts.

        And not for the better. I think people are actually much less kind to each other when they are aware of being observed. Or worse, deliberately performing for content.

          Yeah, another factor I didn’t even mention. The voluntary surveillance.

            Clarissa-Jan Lim wrote a great article which called it ‘Panopticontent’. That phrase lives in my head forever now.

      When envisioning the rising of such surveillance system turning our prison into a planet, I had always hoped that the “hackers” in the world would protect us from such.

    The first XKCD that comes to mind

    Ellision sounds like the kind of guy that wants an unstoppable army of robot swarms.

    Representative Jamie Raskin recently brought up the term neo-monarchy.

      Subjugating the working class majority is literally the whole point of establishing a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

      Sees the USA doing what it’s always done, which we’ve known since COINTELPRO and Snowden’s whistleblowing

        China is preventing people from traveling and working due to their social credit system. Their level of intrusion has no comparison to any other country. The level of intrusion into peoples lives is horrible and unprecedented. Its 1984 made manifest and no amount of garbage arguments is going to to be able to equate their surveillance state with any other country.

        I thought all the ministries in 1984 were big govt, not big corp, but maybe im splitting hairs 🙆‍♀️

      1984 was written in 1948, after fascists had already demonstrated that capitalism is quite compatible with totalitarianism.

        You really can’t overstate this plain truth, and people will still cling to the illusion of freedom.
