> from time to time we hear threats: “We will destroy you together with your Plato” ... // The threats were real. University education was heavily controlled and censored; state functionaries decided who could study and who could teach, and what they might study and teach; academics were subject to long sessions of questioning at secret police headquarters; mail was intercepted; those deemed dangerous were sacked ...And this current ignorant excuse for an humanity is still shrugging in the face of a anti-society of transparent espionnage and profiling; they say "meh" or "they have nothing to hide" lightly like their pruned neural connections... Incapable of imagining scenarios - which, by the way, remains the definition of Intelligence (as per MIT 6.034), once a value. (Edit: yes, by coincidence I had a number of privacy related incidents only in the past few days and hours.)
