> I cannot imagine what preparations I can, And it's very ugly and scary. Go read the psychological literature on what happens when groups (of animals as well as humans) are put under sustained overt surveillance (not covert surveillance - they need to "feel" watched). Clue: it activates the "predators about" part of the limbic brain. Such a population is essentially a powder-keg in a pre-revolutionary state. For humans, on the surface it's all sweetness and smiles because social regulation (Freudian superego) keeps the lid on... for a while. That part of the brain cannot be "trained out of it" so it cannot be "normalised". One cannot "make surveillance acceptable" because we have an innate aversion to it. This is why in Bentham's design of the Panopticon the key feature of it is that nobody knows for sure they're being watched. Remove that limitation and surveillance is massively counterproductive and dangerous to everyone. It's such a shame people don't read more about history, anthropology and human psychology before making parochial; statements about "the world we now live in" or what they think "people should accept". Before doing that it helps to research what _people_ really are, rather than go on personal gut instinct,
