Many of us were just fine before google maps and paypal. Many of us are just fine right here on Earth. None of us will be fine when Google/Apple/Facebook levels of up-to-the-minute personal information are in the hands of a bad turn of government--think Chinese "social credit" system. Stazi with AI.

We are rolling the dice toward a level of social control unparalleled in human history, and we are doing this for marginal gains to a standard-of-living which is already quite high.

And it only takes one catastrophe to get that bad turn of government--even in a "democracy." It only took a few bombs for us to throw the Japanese into camps when that was clearly unconstitutional.
