>I will inhabit a world indistinguishable from that of a paranoid schizophrenic.
My wife has schizophrenia, which is well under control with medication.
But about every year or two, when she wakes me up in the night to tell me she's panicking because someone hacked her smartphone and laptop etc., I know we have to adjust her medication for a few weeks.
It was scary at first, but now we know the drill: a night or two without much sleep, no big problem.
Of course I check smartphone, laptop etc.
You never can be sure, can't you?
Especially not if you've already been in trouble with credit card fraud twice.
I once asked her psychiatrist what he would say to his patients who believe they are being monitored in these times of Snowden and Co.
He said it didn't make his job easier, but he would calm them down and adjust the medication.
After all, he knew that his patients were sick.
So what do you think they or their owners/masters will do when All is Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace in our/their future/reality?
