The Patriot Act

The Patriot Act should only be used to justify violating the rights of a terrorist, not preventing future terrorist attacks. We shouldn’t be allowed to torture or kill them. Just read their mind. Neuralink’s almost here. We have a perfect lie detector at this point (the P300–see “brain fingerprinting”) and it’s a shame we can’t use it or don’t use it on terrorists instead of torturing them. We should probably also be able to use it in court, since you’re swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Should see a huge drop in crime, at least reported crime. To fix the unreported, maybe parents will implant their kids as babies and use them as young sleeper agents? We don’t have any kids’ rights right now. Weird time in history.

Looking Russian

 

Do my hackers hate it when people look Russian, or beautiful in general? New evidence awaits my thought stream. Can’t wait to get a DNA test and compare it to my sister’s if she ever gets one. We’re obviously different races and they try to make me look like her in my old photos. Hope they weren’t planning on stealing my identity any more than they already have (they pretended to be the Social Security Administration. I believed them for a bit too long because they had my social security number and credit card numbers and they know where I live. Pay attention to the news—they warn you when scams like that are rampant).

Future Civil War

 

I think if the North and South split up, the South would form their own CIA and run black ops on vampires/pedophiles. That's the only positive I see from a split or civil war. If they found enough evidence they might invade. I guess it wouldn't take much evidence for them to say it's vital to the national security of their country. Maybe if the Democrats caught the Republicans and vice-versa we'd finally catch some of them.

Electromagnetic Attacks

Tried to look up the long-term effects of living in a Faraday cage and this was all I got. Seems like a good solution to electromagnetic attacks, though, until we can get someone to stand as bait with a signal-tracker.

Autonomous Drones

I’m all for drones. We just need to figure out how to not get hacked...but anything can be hacked. They can deepfake orders if they have the technology to hack a military drone. I think people are just worried that they’ll get caught. I doubt they’d start shooting people who are just taking drugs, for example, but that’s everyone’s greatest (irrational/unfounded) fear.

“How else are drones changing warfare?

“Experts worry that the proliferation of UAVs could make bloody conflicts more common, because countries that are reluctant to start a war and risk their soldiers' lives won't hesitate to send in drones. ‘For states that seek to break long-standing geopolitical deadlocks, the rise of relatively cheap, disposable, armed drones offers a tempting opportunity,’ says Jason Lyall, an expert in military technology at Dartmouth College. Others fear a rise in autonomous drones that don't need a human controller. The United Nations recently reported that a 15-pound Turkish-built quadcopter independently targeted and launched a suicide attack on retreating rebel forces in Libya. If anyone died in that March 2020 strike, said security consultant Zachary Kallenborn, it would be the ‘first known case of artificial intelligence–based autonomous weapons being used to kill.’”

television programming

if i were to run for president, i’d change all the tv programming to be exciting and unpredictable. i’m sick of seeing the same old things on tv. i think we’d all like a little more variety.

i’d do a lot of other things too, like introduce or strengthen an already-existing universal basic income (ubi).

utopia/dystopia

i often ask myself, am i living in a utopia or dystopia? would changing something small make it more like a utopia or more like a dystopia? we know what we want from our government and how we want our country to be, even if they’re unattainable goals (like a libertarian society when so many people need help right now).

https://divergent.fandom.com/wiki/Fear_Simulation (photo is from The Matrix)

Before entering the fear landscape, participants are injected with a serum that will bring their fears to the surface of their brains. During Dauntless initiation, the Dauntless leaders and usually the initiates trainer are watching the initiate's fears and taking count of how many they have. For each fear, their heartbeat is measured and the landscape will not change until your heartbeat and breathing slow to a normal pace. Or the initiate can choose to face their fear. This is what Tris chooses to do instead of killing her family in her final simulation.

In the final testing stage everyone, not just Divergents, knows that it is not real. However, Divergents can manipulate the simulations in their minds to make their results quicker and their fears easier to deal with.

Most people have about 10-15 fears. However, the record for the least number of fears ”in recent years” is 4, which is the result Tobias Eaton got on his fear landscape. This is how Tobias got the nickname "Four"...
