>I know this is somewhat SF utopian but I keep banging on about "MOOP" - massive open online psychology. the idea that we are monitored day in day out by our phones, listening to us and our interactions, the actual useful data that could be extracted about our psychology, our behaviour and how to improve it is immense (yes the risks huge - but that's why it should be open) And who will control what gets told to whom? >Don't look at his hunky ass, you are wrong in gods eyes. Would have been what every gay would have heard in the 1950s. >Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
