I guess my point is, if you're this unhinged that your end game is just doing whatever you want, surely it's going to fall to pieces eventually.

One can't control all circumstance, even if you're in-charge of the ultimate surveillance state. You can't surveillance away suddenly dying of a brain hemorrhage. In-fact, you'd be more likely to die in this case due to the fact you've not probably created a less honest, collaborative world where you'd have less bias an evidence based medical research occurring.

Being in-charge of a surveillance state seems like it's only good for the first half of the states life, until things like what happened in Wuhan recently occur, the coverups and lies catch up to the great leaders eventually.
