The scary thing is that a large number of people (sometimes in Australia I feel like it’s more than 50%) _would_ give access to their brain, vote for it even. People crave feedback, they can be scared of themselves, so something in their heads monitoring everything could actually be reassuring in an almost religious sense

Australians also don’t think a lot in general (many exist who do but as a general populace we’re culturally weak and short on history), so the long term effects of such reassurance just never really makes it into the discussion
