Yeehaw.... Yul Brynner for President or King or whatever (obviously referencing the original Westworld) Shall we dance, 1,2,3?

Excellent advice on personal data management. The other option is of course to maintain an extra offline computer with no Wi-Fi inside a Faraday room... Probably a bit excessive for most.

The thing that strikes me about sentient simulation and the suchlike is the hubris involved in the assumption that rationale and logic define humanity which to any man who has been married to a woman in their forties is a preposterous assumption... (little bit of old time and now inappropriate (illegal?) sexist humour there)... 😁...

But the point is this, humanity is not rational nor logical and despite societal engineers nudging away, it does not always react in the way anticipated. The old 'all of the people, some of the time' adage. So, 'best effort' subjugation and history is littered with sociopathy of this type...

I've been a fan of Corbett's for more years than I care to remember. He's sharp as a tack, incredibly knowledgeable and perceptive as he is prolific. His library of essays and videos is a goldmine for anybody seeking to understand the way the world is run and where it is likely heading.
