>>13209I don't think the tear-down scenario is particularly hopeful. Consider all the things that'll be lost. The hopeful scenario is where the digital infrastructure is corrected in order to serve the interests of the people.
As far as the surveillance-aggressors are concerned, their end goal is a device attached to your neck (and everybody else's) that can punish by electroshock, chemical-pain-injections, and ultimately death by blowing up a small charge
Zionist pager style. I don't know how to categorize this, regression to serfdom,
probably.
If you are still asking your self how surveillance leads to exploding neck-devices (which would be odd considering recent events), it's the logical conclusion of trying to controle people via fear.
I'm not making this up, ten years ago i read an article by a consulting-guy for super-rich people from roughly the same milieu as this Ellison guy, maybe we could name it the SIC (surveillance industrial complex). He said that he got requests for technological control-bracelets to put around people's necks in order to ensure reliable controle over people for "end of the world emergency scenarios"
They'll keep pushing unless they are stopped. So if you harbor any illusions for a boring dystopia that might just be bearable enough, keep in mind they're building the Torment Nexus, intentionally so.
Also the Normies aren't
taking the L they're just pursuing a different strategy than privacy conscious techies. They think about the surveillance machine like a reputation/public-image management problem. They're going to push for the ability to curate their "surveillance profile", and they'll be able to do this to a great extend. And possibly also to ruin the profiles of others
(1) . Privacy conscious techies are opposed to observation because they are builders, who don't want bullies to take what they made from them. Bullies don't take what they can't see. The paniopticon probably comes with a heavy economic penalty, because it demoralizes many builders.
(1) the surveillance ideologues who think that the surveillance data will be a record of reality are delusionalThe reason why i think the tear-down scenario is almost certainly going to be the outcome, is because this won't just be a 2 sided conflict between surveillance-enslavers
