In reality, the universe is neutral about our existence. Only dogs care. - John Twelve Hawks

Every new experience is unusual. The rest of life is just sleep and committee meetings.

Lying, not love, is the fundamental indication of humanity.

Any monitoring system that is invisible, pervasive, automatic, and permanent gives those in power the means to create a modern surveillance state. And these new states will have an authority that has detached itself from ethics and ideology. Politicians and dictators will continue to make speeches, but their words will become meaningless. This new system will see and know us. It will even predict our future behavior.
