- DrPhish 6y agoFunny how we keep using technology to recreate dystopias. In this case, personal "flappers" ala Swift's Gulliver's visit to Laputa Can you imagine a world where politicians could have headphones tuned to cancel out non-approved voices 24/7? Protesters could camp outside offices and scream as much as they wanted to no avail
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoIsn’t this already the case? Legislative offices in some countries are eavesdropping-proof, so one would imagine that drowns out sound coming from the outside. Protestors these days are under no illusion that politicians are looking at them as they protest, rather their goal is to win over members of the general public walking by, and make a splash in the media that might then get the business world and politicians’ attention.

I lived in Dublin for two years, and in my limited experience of going out the experience could always be summarised as "loud, couldn't understand anyone". If I could hear a little less of random people and noise and a little more of the people I'm talking to I might have enjoyed it more.
