Subject: n+1: Leave Your Cellphone at Home
As a final thought, I'd say just to remember that a big part of this is
social behavior and not technology per se. And a big part of it is accepting
that while we may live in a dystopian society right now, we don't always
have to. That's the tradeoff, right? Because what is OWS working toward? The
answer is, something different. And if we want an end to social inequality,
the surveillance state is part of what we have to change. If we make it
worthless to surveil people, we will have done this. So, it needs to be the
case that what we do doesn't hang us for what we wish to create.
