Wonderful quote. The concept I have been playing with I call "consensual communication". We dont allow people to run up to us and shove food in our mouths, and yet we allow information to be shoved into our minds - and as the quote notes, they have the gall to place restrictions on the object of assault.

- freehunter 8y agoThat's actually close to reality. A lot of US universities have some kind of for-pay drug research going on. Since college kids are notoriously low on cash, they sign up to get injected with something and report the results afterwards. My university didn't offer it but my sister's did. She made a few bucks getting injected with a trial flu vaccine and reporting if she got sick afterwards.
