- taneq 9y agoI don't think it's that much of an issue if each person has a video record of stuff they've seen. I mean, we already have this in a squishy lossy human way. Where I do think it's an issue is when every person's viewpoint is piped back to the Borg mothership.
- pavement 9y agoI think it's suicidally bad for this to become the default norm for human interaction. Among strangers it's a horrible idea, and among loved ones, a thousand times worse. If social interaction has begun to feel rigid and sterile already, this sort of thing represents a deep freeze beyond anything we've ever experienced. Everything points to confession and contrition now. Emotions become bottled and pressurized. Stiff behavior modification leaves no release valves. Go ahead and experiment with this, if you don't believe me. I'll check out, without hesitation. I'll take my business elsewhere, anywhere.
- NoCoastCoder 9y agoI completely agree with you but your wording is insufferable. I really hope you don't talk like that in real life.
- true_religion 9y agoAs a counter, I found his wording to be rich and amusing. I would completely befriend him in real life.
- zeveb 9y agoThe Black Mirror episode about exactly this got it right, I think. Forgetfulness is a blessing!
- nextlevelwizard 9y agoDo you always try this hard to sound smart?
