Nice! I wonder when we will all start living inside campuses.

They definitely look nicer than most public cities.

I've been postulating privately that we will move towards opt-in private governments, with private cities, that people get citizen scores and have no privacy, and that we will _choose_ to do that, because it will be a utopia inside those walls.

Your suggestion here solidifies that in my mind. We will live on private campuses owned by the corporation for which we work. It will be a utopia in there. And we will have no privacy. And we will be rated. And we will love being quantified. And outside those walls the world will decay.

Companies have tried their hands at being the government in the past, and the outcome has always been.... something less than utopian.
