Yeah, I can't possibly imagine anything wrong with that philosophy.


I know it sounds strange.  But what's the Google overlord going to do with knowledge of what I eat for breakfast every day, or the name of my favorite movie?

I see humanity as in a transitional stage right now, between ape-men and AI cyborgs.  I'm not saying I fancy that future, but it's pretty apparent that technology will provide us with sufficient rewards in exchange for our liberties.  When we're a 20-billion-strong parallel processor, is it going to matter what our pee-pees look like, or what we jerked off to at age 13?
