i don't think any safeguards will protect us from evils brought about by technology - it evolves too fast already for the society to catch up .


Well someone has to pay for the tech. Its not free. And that puts an automatic upper limit on what happens.

People have no idea how much debt Police depts (lets not even talk about the military) have racked up playing with high tech toys and paying off compensation every 2 days for people they accidentally harm or kill. So whats funny here as Big Bro gets access to more and more tools the more broke he gets.

And guess what the financiers of this debt will do when it cant be paid off. Raid police pension funds. Thats how financialization of public service works

No free lunch big bro. Have fun with all the "cool toys" while the good times last.
