People having different parameters than you do to their cost-benefit analysis doesn't make them myopic and you somehow more insightful.

If those parameters are “short term” focused at the expense of long term success, how isn’t that myopic? How isn’t refusal to do the same insight?

Short-term informs long-term, and like it or not, most people aren't super accurate precogs. Short term is the default. Long-term has to be trained and requires both experience and a lot of effort to develop and keep accurate.

I don't think this is a case of short term vs long term. Due to marketing the value of surveillance products seem obvious whereas the downsides sound like techno babble to the average user.

This is a straw man argument. GP is talking about valuing outcomes differently.

Just apathetic?
