Yes. But what if everyone carries a smartphone round in their pockets that recorded their every move and sound and conversation?
What if celebrities were on the TV saying how much having a phone provide therapy chnaged their lives? We can easily imagine a fringe of people doing this - quantified living etc? What happens when those people start to have real world advantages? Are healthier wealthier?
What happens when a company of well adjusted people whose conversations are mapped is able to react faster? Extract meaningful knowledge graphs from who knows what? What about a country - will their army be more efficient ? will having a knowledge economy be all about meta data management ?
What happens at the tipping point ? When does it become suspicious that you are not medically recording your life? When does refusing to allow these recordings make a defence against accusations harder?
None of this is great, or fair, or even better.
But these are feasible future options - and something is going to chnage - this is all possible with tech - and we shall have to deal with it?
- texasbigdata 4y agoIf you’ve seen real narcissistic abuse, other than the screaming dehumanizing rage filled sessions, (and this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective) the person on a receiving end has a realllllly hard time cogently describing what they suffered without drawing some suspicion to themselves. And when threatened the narcissist will (this is a stupid term but in the literature) have both flying monkeys, and unleash an attack on your character. Recording everything written is probably not sufficient imho.
- lifeisstillgood 4y agoI am not honestly suggesting this as a solution to abuse - but I am certainly saying that imagine everyone's lives lived in a medically / psychologically supervised reality TV show - where the conversations and abuses and tonality and heart rates are logged and watchable - I mean basic crime becomes ridiculously hard to get away with - and mental issues might stand out like a sore thumb. I am not advocating for this, I am pointing out the technology not only exists, but exists in every home. It's hard to imagine something along these lines not happening Edit: I just want to be clear I am not trying to belittle or reject emotional abuse that goes on day in and out across all societies - nor suggesting that tech is some silver bullet for complex problems.
