Panopticon

  • TODO: crime rate?

• Prison system - for profit only?

• Dynamic normalization

• If nobody disagrees, this will form conformity, leads to groupthink.

• If everyone is doing the same actions, this might decrease innovative thinking or disturb free will.

• Since we're being watched anyway, why can't we predict crime that might happen? If they do keep track of our online and offline behaviors?

• Past crime data can be trained and predict the location of crime scene.

• Past data can only do so much, how to eradicate crimes with surveillance?

• What are the benefits of being watched online and offline? Drastic change of behaviors down the road.

• Then what's the point lmao

People end up acting, thinking, and being the same, for fear of being caught out or punished.
