Cool story. I think most accept that we are unlikely to achieve thr absolute state you have described above, but we can reduce the scale of the bureaucratic categorisation and the associated distorted trail we leave; there is no question that the volume of such data has dramatically increased over the past century and is undoubetdly accelerating.
- kelseyfrog 1y agoSynthesizing a right because a person feels a way isn't valid.
- alganet 1y agoAre you declaring that you would volunteer for being permanently surveiled?
- kelseyfrog 1y agoBro, these internet debate tricks are not effective. Why not use a different strategy? I simply reject your premise.
- alganet 1y agoNot an internet trick, it's an old empathy tale. Would you want that done to you? Simple question. Not rethorical. It's not my premise. Do you accept your own premise? That you can't have that right.
- kelseyfrog 1y agoIt's a category error. Wanting it or not wanting it isn't even on my mind. I simply don't care. It doesn't bother me.
- alganet 1y agoSo you would, in fact, volunteer. You are leaning into it. It doesn't bother, right? Why not declare that you volunteer? Do you want me to leave you alone? Or can I keep investigating the real you?
- kelseyfrog 1y agoBro, Take a breath. You aren't going to gotcha me. It's a bad look.
- alganet 1y agoIt's a hypothetical. I already collected your volunteership for The Seer. It will watch you, not me. Don't worry. If you abandon technology, people around you still use it, and The Seer will be there, lightly probing you.
- kelseyfrog 1y agoThank you for the theatrical antagonism. It's fun, but unfortunately it's not a serious counterargument.
- alganet 1y agoI made a simple question. You evaded it (wanting to be left alone). We are not in an argument. We are in a social interaction that leads you to slowly lean towards agreeing with me. There is no escape. There is no answer you can give. If you agree that people should have the right to be left alone, then you were wrong. If you don't agree, then you volunteer. If you agree but don't volunteer, you are tyrannical (you want rights for you but not for others). If you just leave, that signals you want to be left alone. We are not in an argument.
- kelseyfrog 1y agoThis is less a conversation and more a one-man play where you read both parts. Bravo, but no. Why don't you get curious instead? It's one of the site guidelines after all. Community trust and goodwill is the most precious thing we have here. Why throw it away?
- bendigedig 1y agoAll of our rights have been created because of how people feel. How else would we decide what we collectively value? Logic is only logical if it is grounded in how we as humans feel.
