As long as a court order is required, then this seems to me to be more of a freedom-protecting measure than a freedom-destroying one. Freedom is not about the absence of enforcement, it is about having reasonably just laws, and processes th

Not to mention the mind-blowing arrogance and ignorance he displays in believing that his research (on Bongard problems, for God's sake! Conceptions of human cognition that are 50 years behind!) could possibly lead to believable artificial
