> You see someone you've never met before and they know your name, birthday, etc. while you know nothing about them. It's not the person in front of you who knows you, it's the corporation, and you are just speaking to an agent of a multi-embodied hydra.

However, sometimes knowing the agents of a corp well on a personal level can help in that process.
