First realize what is going on and why, watch the science video, then manufacturing consent then the rest. The elites fear political awakening, thats why all this is happening. First, our brains are much worse at reality and thinking than thought. Science on reasoning: ▶ this video The (mass surveillance) by the NSA and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests. They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken.

"Empires are not monolithic." First see the science on reasoning, your brain is not the reasoning god you think it is: ▶ this video Which is meaningless, what is the evidence of the US imposing laws on countries that are not of the US? AKA are corporations getting their way? If we go by evidence, there is no democracy and their power is quite monolithic. Consider that these laws have been growing in power for 200 years almost, so don't buy the 'the creators are hurting and the evil pirates are stealing' argument, the public domain is completely destroyed (aka freedom to own, modify, repair software, own and update video games, etc). AKA ownership is being taken away completely from you in a one sided deal where they have total control. [link] Crisis of democracy [link]

I wonder how much self deception exists in western society when the evidence suggests you live in a lawless oligarchy, one example from endless copyright extension. [link] But first HN, you can be told the facts and the figures and you won't reason to the right conclusion see the science: ▶ this video Does the upper class and the business community believe in Free markets? [link] IMF subsidies for the rich and their corporations [link] subsidies So looking at all that free cash from the state, did the upper class really "earn" all that cash or could it be they own the government and can just rubber stamp whatever they like because the average HN poster and person on our planet is illiterate and well indoctrinated?

>I can't be bothered to even unpack some of this loony RMS-level cutesyness, like that WoW is "stolen from the public" because it's a server-client game. I can tell you the facts and you won't reason to the right conclusion, see the science: ▶ this video You don't seem to get, that before world of warcraft, UO and everquest, we were getting PC RPG's with single player and multiplayer inside the same game. To think that wow and eq are "different" or "special" and require "corporate ownership" means you are gullible and stupid beyond all comprehension, you can't put two and two together on how your market signal effects the entire videogame market in a networked world. Neverwinter Nights 2002 on gog is a "persistant world oyu controlled" that has the dedicated server functions included inside the game and you own and control it. World of warcraft was a tax on the stupid. You don't seem to get what your market signal told every company on the planet, as soon as you buy ANY piece of software that is client server in a world that has internet, ANY game is now going to be forced to be made that way, that's why we lost Diablo 3, Fans of diablo 3 wanted diablo 3 with level editors, modding, etc. Fans of Quake 3, unreal, wanted modding nad dedicated servers to continue.... oh shit we got quake champions a totally locked down game with no level editor and basic functions like skins and colors locked behind paywalls. You don't get that the plan for the corporate world was to make every piece

MMO's were a scam, they were just rebranded PC RPG's, you don't seem to get you are the gullible one here. If you buy ANY piece of software in an internet enabled world that you don't own or ontrol, you have just broadcast to the entire corporate world that you are gullible. They will try to client-server EVERY game and EVERY piece of software, what the hell do you think mobile is? Steam is by definition an irrational piece of corporate malware that shouldn't exist, up until 2004 we were getting complete local applications, or honestly coded PC games. That is why as you go backwards in time before internet penetration reached the computer illiterate, we had level editors, server exe's and dedicated servers embedded inside the main game exe. Descent 3 came with server executable. MMO's are just RPG's where the server exe isn't given to you. You can see this "MMO" racing game you can play completely "offline" proving that mmo's were a scam. Need for speed world was just a fork of most wanted and rewritten to be client server, AKA a scam. Think of this, you can run Need for speed world entirely from your PC without monthly fee or micro-transactions, then that means that paying a monthly fee for software you don't own is irrational. [link] Anytime you see a login screen on a piece of game or other software you're seeing stolen software buddy. You don't get they've already won, the battle was won between 1997 and 2004.

You don't understand what is happening, the elites are at war with all citizens of their respective states because they fear the free flow of information through their society. That is why are collecting everything. Go view the privacy video and skip to 1:02:30 and watch. So hear it from national security advisor of the united states. If you are the non fraction of the 1% you are the enemy, aka spying is aimed at politically controlling your perception because they know your brain doesn't see the world as it is.

>There is a lot of evidence that we should be very afraid of the state if you look at Verfassungsschutz activities. It goes way beyond that, all elites of all nations are afraid of their publics and are basically already implementing soft versions of martial law behind the scenes. The media being complicit. You should, the elite are locking down the planet and most people are too stupid and uninformed. Most won't believe it because it goes against belief in corporate ideology.

" is that as IoT devices become more and more ubiquitous, I'll probably still end up with some kind of quasi-surveillance garbage in my house." This is the natural result of free market capitalism and private property, property owners (corporations) want to protect it and their profits from the plebians. So they buy the governments and strip plebians of their rights. Our brains are much worse at reality and thinking than thought.

"So, my question, what is this feeling? How does the brain recognize that it should have this feeling?" If we take the idea seriously that the universe is unified and all knowledge is unified, then it would be safe to treat the universe as a single entity. AKA everything is related to everything else in a whole host of mundane and non mundane ways that human beings are not aware of given the limits on the human brain/body and the time and energy required to process that information. AKA all the truth is there (the universes structure and its relationships). Rather our mind is busy highlighting things that are interesting, it's just the brain buildings models and finding interesting links unconsciously and when its done we get an update. AKA most thinking is done all the time unconsciously without our awareness of it. See the science: ▶ this video

>Why is it then that over the entire industry, over the entire world, women are under-represented? Because women are smart and weak, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Women's evolutionary history over time was to find a strong man who has resources, hence women's evolutionary programming isn't geared for technological trenches of insane work hours and dedication of 20 something youths. Women have an ovulatory cycle, and the enlightenment was wrong about human reasoning and human functioning. Most of our surface behaviour is controlled by unconscious processes.
