After reading this thread I really think we need more people like Richard Stallman in the world. "Embrace and educate", you'll say. No, people don't care. Let them do what they will. I will not participate in the destruction of privacy. However this, to me, isn't even the scariest part. The real scary stuff is when you realize what this data is most certainly being used for. Remember when the CIA gave unknowing citizens LSD? Remember the unclassified docs that revealed their intentions to be able to basically warp a mind, and control it at their will? Well, today, we hand them the data for deep examination. Our emotions, intelligence, etc. will be revealed by a quick scan of our face. Just imagine the databases these government agencies have available. I imagine labs filled with scientists and engineers trying to crack the data. It sounds conspiratorial, but come on. Imagine if you held humanities brain within your hands. Would you not study it, trying to figure out how to make it work more to your personal needs? Or maybe you'll tell yourself it's to make society better, to make it safer. Just a note: I'm not accusing the CIA exactly of doing this. There is no doubt in my mind, though, that somebody is out there doing this (the CIA seems most reasonable). Sorry for rambling, I've been awake for 24 hours (is there irony in that?)
