To catch all bicycle thieves, everywhere, at all times, would require 24/7 worldwide surveillance of every square meter on Earth. Do you really desire this?

- _nalply 4y agoThis is an utopia and the definition of utopia is that this is not a problem. This might be because this surveillance is benevolent. Another way could be that everybody has the tools to do this surveillance themselves in a beneficial way for everybody. That's utopia for you (shrugs).
- MichaelZuo 4y ago> This is an utopia and the definition of utopia is that this is not a problem. What? It's difficult to tell online whether a statement is facetious or not. But I can't see how this makes any sense otherwise.
- _nalply 4y agoI gave some examples why this would not be a problem. One advantage of visions of utopias: they give ideas for a better world and also it shows what-if perspectives: what if we really could catch thieves in a beneficial way and help them? what if there is a business opportunity because there's a need to be fulfilled?
