    Evangelion is one of those anime where the author starts shitting on the fans towards the end because the 15 year old males in the audience see themselves in Shinichi. Those same fans started sending him death threats when the end of the main show points out he is not a good person, and the harem that wants to sleep with him actually don’t want to sleep with him because he’s going to save the world but because they require therapy.

    It’s what decisions are made with that data that’s the concern. A lot of “privacy advocates” believe that society can exist with the government not knowing anything about their population. I can’t think how:

    • a transport service can operate without knowing where people go and when
    • consumer advocacy can work without knowing what people will buy
    • what needs to be addressed in society without knowing what the issues are
    • what to educate people on unless you find out what they don’t know
    • a health service can adapt to the needs of aging populations without good fertility data

    You’re right, all this data can be used against someone for malicious reasons and like in the China example it’s easier to locate dissonance by listening. But evil can be done without data collection, it’s impossible to do good without it.













  • Dammit I’m going to be thinking about this for ages, is this to prove you were lower middle class? Like to make sure they were raised on the same “Saturday morning cartoon” upbringing? To see if they only name “Great Value” brand alternatives? To make sure they weren’t raised on croissants?

    I know I’m giving the Proud Boys far too much credit, but I really thought they only check that you get an erection while reciting the pledge of allegiance.
