> This is not just a rogue request from some crazy official ... This post is a mirror image of the opinion espoused by pabloski, yet he got downvoted.

> I personally think both sides of any argument deserve an airing This is a subject where you just have to take sides. Because ultimately we're talking about a choice between: - a future society invented by idealistic tech visionaries (1) or - a future society maintained by secret police people (2) Both of these can be dystopian, but we know exactly that (2) can lead to a lot of human suffering. I believe that humanity's only way forward is by 'innovating' itself out of the environmental, social and geopolitical hole that it currently lies in. If we lose that chance, then (2) will come with their own solutions - and we really don't want to see them..
